  • What does Excel Reader warning invalid value '' for parameter 'xlsx_start_row' in 2019.2.2.0 mean?

Since upgrading to FME Desktop 2019.2.2.0, when I run FME workbenches with excel readers I get the warning:

"Excel Reader: Sheet 'mysheetname' has invalid value '' for parameter 'xlsx_start_row'. Parameter will be ignored"

"Excel Reader: Sheet 'mysheetname' has invalid value '' for parameter 'xlsx_end_row'. Parameter will be ignored"

 

I never got this before, previously i was running 2019.1.3.1. What does it mean and is it a problem?

Hi @abenvill,

This warning is nothing to be concerned about. It simply means that in the Excel Reader parameters you did not set a valid Cell Range for the Sheets to Read. I see this warning is being generated when this setting is left at the default values however I'm pleased to say this has already been fixed, the fix went into b19819 and 20161.
