Error selecting an input file - Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1

Hi,

 

I'm trying to develop an Analytics App in Designer which needs to select an Input file (.xlsx) provided by the user. But, gets an error message "Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1" whenever tried to select an input file (Microsoft Excel file) from the folder path.

 

Please find the error screenshot attached and the Analytic workflow which I'm using. Request your help to select a Microsoft Excel file as an input file in the App and proceed further.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Umesh

@urfriendumesh,

 

Have you tried File brows instead of text input:

Thanks for the quick response. The File Browse worked well and able to select the Input and Output File path.

 

Thanks,
