[#Menu: Gateway of Tally]
Add: Item: Before:##locQuit: "Import From Excel" :Call :ImportFromExcel
I ran the above code and I am getting the following two errors:
1 FUNCTION 'ImportFromExcel' LABEL:10 Invalid number of steps 2
FUNCTION 'ImportFromExcel' LABEL:10 Action execution failed!
The function basically tries to read the data from the excel file called List.xls. I have googled these two errors and I found some suggestions:
The OS + Tally + Microsoft Office should all be either 32 bit or 64 bit.
The excel file name extension should be xls instead of xlsx.
I have a 64 bit system and I have checked to make sure that both Office and Tally are 64 bit. Also, my file extension is .xls. Any other ideas as to why this might not be working?

Answer 1

After setting Totalentries on line 00 (it may be safer to modify the line number to 001), try printing Totalentries by giving the command 002: log: ##Totalentries. It seems to me there are no values in your ExcelLedgersCollection collection.

Answer 2

1st we tried with Ms Office 2007 it never worked.
But when we used Ms Office 2019 it worked properly.
Following code works fine under MS Office 2019
