my automation failed with that error, i've make sure the path is correct, the extension correct what could be the problem?

 

i've tried opening the excel file and a pop up appeared it says that something is wrong about the contect, so i added "if window exist" but the problem doesnt go anywhere, it can't even open the excel file how to fix that?

    Hi @David Jansen​ ,

     

    Can you check whether the file is available in the folder?

     

    can you share the code screenshot and the error?

    If you're having trouble opening an Excel file, you can easily convert it to a vCard format to access the data seamlessly.
