@tiagoalsimao I recreated the file from the video. Here ya go! I’ll also be uploading this to a different server for more stability. Sorry for the inconvenience.

For the sake of others searching on this topic, the file has now been hosted here:

Good day,

I’m replying to my own question, as I just found a workaround to this bug, this time for the fullemployeedata.xlsx in Getting Started Using Repetition with Selection

For info, I’m using Chrome.

The problem, for me, occurs when I use left-click to download the file. This will send me to the error page with “Access denied”.

To overcome this, I follow the steps bellow:

  1. Refresh page (CTRL+R)
  2. Right-Click on the link > Select Open link in new tab

This will download the file properly.

Hope this helps!
Best regards!
