Data Load Failed on example files provided

I am new to Qlik in general and I have only complete the lesson in the Business Analyst pathway. I am at the Exam stage and I have download the Nutra_Green_Sales_BAStart.qvf files. At the Data Manager > Associations screen I am receiving an error of Data Load Failed. I have attempted to refresh the data with no luck. I know that the excel files are fine since I uploaded into a separate blank app. 

Connection not found:DataFiles: etc. A lot of connection not found. Attached a screenshot.

Hi, 

Are you using Qlik Cloud ? 

Kind regards

Did you move the app to a shared space from personal space? For example this app has been moved to a shared space call SalesDemo Space.

If so, then you need to update your connection path or recreate your connection to the data files in the load script editor.

For example:

Your original data file path

FROM [lib://DataFiles/SaleDemo_Orders Header.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Orders_Header);

 

Then moved app to a space called SalesDemo Space

 

Try to insert the name of the space as shown below. In this case, it is SalesDemo Space:

FROM [lib://SalesDemo Space:DataFiles/SaleDemo_Orders Header.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Orders_Header);

 

Hope it helps...

All the examples I had used, until that one, were done the exact same way.
It was ultimately the data connection path that our admin had to track
down. It is just weird the 20 other .qvf files I used in the Business
Analyst path worked just fine, it was just the one for the exam that
decided to act weird.
