Bad Zip File Error

Hi all,

I saw other threads on encountering Bad Zip File Error when loading data, and various reasons why so.

However, what i really want to ask is this - The file that i am trying to load into my Qlikview dashboard is password protected, a shared excel workbook where multiple users save.

I understand that it is most probably causing the Bad Zip File Error, because once it is unshared and not password protected, the dashboard works.

Is there any workaround to pipe the data that is on this workbook, besides unsharing it? (which can't be done as it needs to be shared and password protected)

Hi Wayne,

I had this error time ago, It was because I was loading an excel with XLS, but XLSX format.

Hope this will help you.

Regards!
