XML Parse Failure - cell has no column definition

I'm trying to combine a bunch of excel files into one file, but i'm getting the below errors when they're read in. Any ideas? All files should have the same tab name (Sheet1) and the same number of columns.

Should add, the initial file reads in fine in the Macro...!

Hi @kcoleman 

 

Are you able to read them individually?

 

Give this macro a try.

 

Hope this helps : )

The directory reads them in fine it seems, but your red tool here gives the same errors as before!

Hi @kcoleman 

 

Did you try using the input tool and giving * for filename.

 

Refer 1st method in the post : https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/The-Ultimate-Input-Data-Flowchart/t...

 

Hope this helps : )

Yep all my input tools are looking for *.xlsx

Sorry, misread your message. I tried changing the Input File to * and I'm getting the XML error again -

Hi @kcoleman 

 

But you are able to read a single file right?

 

The below yellow highlighted says you don't have enough processing space. You might want to close some applications and run this.

Don't think that's my issue, but thank you.

Hi @kcoleman 

 

Can you provide a sample file with the issue so that we can look into it?
