We have the same issue.  Works on the desktop of 3.2.3 but not on the server....

Please tell me there is a less buggy 3.2.4 coming soon!

A workaround:

For Each File in FileList('[lib://Excel/Budget*.xlsx]')

     BudgetData:

     LOAD

          Budget.

          Date,

          Subfield('$(File)', '\', SubstringCount('$(File)', '\') + 1) AS Filename

     FROM [$(File)] (ooxml, embedded labels, table is Data);

Next File

Hi Paul,

thanks a lot for your support.

Your workaround runs good, but we have no time to change all your scripts in acceptable time.

Best regards, Bernd
