Hello,

I am using readexcelsheet() to read an Excel File with multiple sheets. I have used functions mentioned below in the excel sheet.

  • CONCAT(), TRANSPOSE(), SHEET(), CELL()

Upon using this function I am getting some errors. please 

  • I don't understand why the readexcelsheet() is trying to read/evaluate formulas. 
  • Shouldn't it only read Data(output of the formula) ??

If readexcelsheet() is not expected to support files having above mentioned functions, please suggest an alternate way to use those functions.

Appian does not execute these formulas. Hence it also can not read the output.

You will need to find a way to prepare a static Excel with all values pre-evaluated.
