let vDataFolder = '..\ExcelFiles\';

Set ErrorMode=0;

// Check if file exists in the folder

if(FileSize('$(vDataFolder)*.xls')>0) then

trace "files exist";

  // Loop through each file under ExcelFiles folder

  for each vFiles in filelist('$(vDataFolder)*.xls')

  dat:

            LOAD FileName() as filename, FileTime() as filetime, *

            FROM [$(vFiles)](biff, no labels, table is @1) ; // you can give the sheet name here

  NEXT

ELSE

trace "no files exist";

END if;

Please see my answer below (italic)...

For files that does not have header info as expected you need to design your code to handle such error scenarios and then report it.

--> How Can we set Error Mode , If an Error Occur ?

Normally QlikView stops executing script whenever an error occurs but if you set the error mode to 0 then it continues to run the script by providing you an opportunity to handle the error.

You may create a table with all your error details. Please see QlikView help for "Error" and you can find more info on Error variables such as ErrorMode, ScriptError, ScriptErrorDetails etc.
