Hello @punitpoplil, would you have the script log? We could check if we can see further information on there. Thank you!

Hi @Patricia_Silva 

I am not getting the mentioned error in my script.

I wanted to know when we usually get this error? as am working on handling all the errors in the script and want to handle this one as well upfront in my script.

Can you please let me now when we get this error? its when reading the data from file in some other format?

[Gysbert_Wassenaar · Accepted solution]

You can get that error when the file format you specified doesn't match the real format. For example you specify loading from an xls file, but it's actually an xlsx file. Or you specify a csv format (txt with a comma as delimiter), but the file is zipped.

 Hello @punitpopli, sorry, I understood you had this error when you executed your script. I can confirm what @Gysbert_Wassenaar said. Thanks a lot!
