I've found that when providing an excel worksheet name via the initiator for the feature reader transformer, it can't find a sheet that has spaces in its name i.e. 'as at 30Nov20', but it can find the same sheet if I rename 'as_at_30Nov20'.

Is there some setting that needs changed?​

Best answer by nielsgerrits

Because of the spaces, you need to put the sheet name between quotation marks. So instead of

as at 30Nov20

you have to use

"as at 30Nov20"

@garyhk​ Thanks for raising this issue. @nielsgerrits​ has given you a workaround, but this is something we'll try and fix in a future release.

​Thanks for the replies especially @nielsgerrits​. Using a stringconcatenator  to add double quotes has fixed the issue for me.
