Hi,@DineshG17064621 please follow the below steps to resolve the issue
We need following steps to parse excel file without error
1. Check File Format and Compatibility
- Supported Formats: Generally, .xlsx files are more reliable than .xls. Ensure your file is in .xlsx format.
- Excel Version: Ensure the Excel file is created using a supported version of Microsoft Excel.
2. Verify Sheet Name
- Open the Excel file manually to check for the presence of the "Data" sheet.
- Ensure there are no hidden sheets or discrepancies in the sheet naming.
3. Review and Clean the Excel File
- Remove Unnecessary Metadata: Ensure there are no extraneous metadata or hidden data that might interfere with Pega’s ability to parse the file.
- Recreate the File: Sometimes simply copying the content to a new Excel file can resolve metadata issues.
4. Validate the Excel File Structure
- Header Row: Ensure the first row contains headers, and there are no merged cells or unusual formatting in the header row.
- Consistent Data Types: Ensure that each column contains consistent data types (e.g., no mixing text with numbers).
5. Configure Data Page Properly

@DineshG17064621 it sounds like Invalid Sheet name is the reason for this issue.
Also make sure that the Excel file being uploaded matches the template uploaded in Pega.
This error comes when parsing an excel file , if it does not match with the template and parsing fails in such scenarios.
Next steps:
Make sure that the Excel file being uploaded should be matching the template uploaded in Pega.
