Hi All

A error message is generated when Excel Node tries to read a xls file.

The original input data does NOT have headers, so I have to set up the header under Optional tab:
<workbook>
<sheet index="1">
<field name="Field_1" />
<field name="Field_2" />
<field name="Field_3" />
<field name="Field_4" />
</sheet>
</workbook>

Here's the error message:
"Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence."

Alternatives tried:
Copy the entire file and paste as value to a new blank Excel file. This did not work, the issue still persit.

Can you advise what caused the issue, it looks just like a normal excel file and I can open it up in Excel without any problems.

Is there a fix for this, thanks!

have you tried setting the Default type to unicode on the Optional Tab?
