Hello Mike
we are trying to read an excel file but we get this error.
ERROR com.appiancorp.ps.exceltools.util.ExcelHelperUtils - Zip bomb detected! The file would exceed the max. ratio of compressed file size to the size of the expanded data.This may indicate that the file is used to inflate memory usage and thus could pose a security risk.You can adjust this limit via ZipSecureFile.setMinInflateRatio() if you need to work with files which exceed this limit.Uncompressed size: 3092989, Raw/compressed size: 30929, ratio: 0.010000Limits: MIN_INFLATE_RATIO: 0.010000, Entry: xl/styles.xmljava.io.IOException: Zip bomb detected!

We get this error using all the 3 function available with the plug in
This error occur with the latest apache poi when in the excel file there are many rows/columns with the same content, and in my excel file i have this issue.
could be possible to set:
ZipSecureFile.setMinInflateRatio(0); in oprder to avoid this error or some other fixing.
Let me know if you need an exemple of my excel to read.
Thank You

below is the formula we are having for one column

from the logs we came to know that XLOOKUP is not supported by this plugin, check the below logs.
