Hi Gabriele,

 

We need more data to reproduce the issue:

1. Is this error specific to a single opportunity, or is it triggered for every opportunity?

2. Does your report have any text columns with HTML markup (for example, Notes or Feed messages)?

 

Hi Alexander Demidov,

1 - the error is triggered for every opportunity

2 - no

 

The problem seems to be in the "handling" of the excel file.

Here an example of a template:

In the previous version the problem was not there.

 

Best regards

Hi Gabriele,

 

You are correct. The most likely cause of the error is the Excel template itself. Please create a similar report without a template. Download the report and use the file as a basis for the template. Add one worksheet at a time to the file and test it.
