&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It should return the number of rows that you are expecting but you probably have&amp;nbsp;additional blank rows in your spreadsheet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;if you&amp;#39;re reading a static document, can you clean it (copy the relevant only the relevant data into another excel file) and try again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you&amp;#39;re generating this file and adding blank rows yourself, consider removing the empty rows first according to a specific column that you know will always exist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="json"&gt;local!filteredList: remove(
      local!recordSets,
      where(
        a!forEach(
          items: local!recordSets,
          expression: isnull(
            fv!item[3]
          )
        )
      )
    )&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
