@SR35047 , are you able to share the workflow or the excel sheet?

 

Having those will be helpful to work towards a solution together.

get the same error once. I solved this error by building a new one with excatly same content as old one.
But this is only  a work around, not the fixed solution. Please someone help !!!

Please also check the input files path.
I checked the input files in workflow. Some of input files were saved to the other folders, once I fix input files path, workflow start to run without error.
That maybe a reason for it.

Hi @SR35047 

 

If my understanding is right, the input tool will input the data's in.

 

While processing only, it might throw an error as below.

You can overcome this issue by using this formula:

DecomposeUnicodeForMatch([Field1])

This converts your characters.

 

Please check and let me know whether my solution worked.

 

Kindly accept this solution if it provided a solution to your question.

 

Many thanks
