On Friday, I ran into he "scrubbedSensitiveData" error. Researching this, all the help I found was, "wait, and Microsoft will figure it out."

 

Today, Monday, the problem has not gotten better, but seems to have grown worse.

 

This is what I was getting, even after refreshing my connector:

And this is what I get now, after deleting and replacing the connector:

I even deleted the two references to LandingTable, started re-typing the word, and selected "LandingTable" when it was suggested, but to no avail.

 

Please, how do I consistently and successfully connect to Excel tables? Are Excel tables just not a good option? 

 

Thank you for your assistance.

    Hi @BenDonahue ,

    I will answer the second part of your question - as a database, Excel is an excellent spreadsheet . . .

    If you have access to SharePoint, please seriously consider migrating.

    @WarrenBelz ,

     

    I just migrated over yesterday. It wasn't as complicated as I had feared, just some referencing to update and some data types to align.

     

    This forum is a great place to get help with specific issues, but not so great with over-arching philosophy nor strategy, maybe because folk don't want to tell people what they should be doing instead of what they currently are doing.

     

    For my part, Warren, I am unafraid to take your excellent advice; thank you very much, indeed.
