Excel and TestStand - teststand

Can I choose manually which cells to read from Excel in TestStand?
I know I can read files from Excel using property loader in TestStand. But the excel file has a format which TestStand can read and I cannot really go on changing my work Excel files as they are too big. Please let me know if there is a solution.
I am new to TestStand and am trying to figure this out. I am able to read and write from TestStand to excel, but not in the format in which the excel files I work with already exists. Could anyone give me a hint as to how I should go about this?

Insert Data into Shared Excel file

I have a Shared Excel file stored on a NAS, and i want to insert some data from a csv into the Excel without the excel being unshared.
can i maybe share the excel file programmatically ?
I tried reading the excel with py pandas and then overwriting with the new inserted data,
but then the file isn't shared anymore, so my users that are still using the file won't notice the change and maybe they are going to save their current changes which would overwrite the inserted data,
i also tried using VBS but it didn't work because the excel is shared.
I'm looking for a solution which would allow my users to modify the file without overwriting the new inserted data.
is that possible ?
Thanks for your attention. I’m looking forward to any reply.

Unable to use an Excel Worksheet in SSIS as a source

I am trying to use an Excel 2016 Worksheet(.xlsx format) as a source for a SSIS package. When I add the excel and try selecting the name of the sheet, I do not see anything.
However, it works if I convert the Excel worksheet to .xls format. I have a lot of excel files that needs to be loaded and converting each file to .xls is not feasible.
Is there anyway this can be done with the .xlsx format itself ?
Appreciate any help on this.
Thank you

Excel found unreadable content in

When I open an excel file (generated through VBA code), I get an error
"Excel found unreadable content in <filename>. Do you want to recover the contents?"
Upon clicking yes, I get a message
'Repairs were made to PivotTable report 'pvtName' on '[filename.xls]Tab'.'
The pivot table in question is generated by the VBA code. Is there a way to figure out what repairs are being done on the pivot table, so that I can make the necessary changes in the code before the file is generated?
Thanks :)
This issue was resolved by making sure the file extension was .xlsm and the FileFormat 52 (Macro Enabled Workbook).
However, users with Excel 2003 won't be able to view the pivot table properly.
If someone has a better workaround, please let me know.
