Import data (Excel) not working

Ask for Help
1

Hi
My app was working perfectly for the last two weeks but now, when I try to import data manually, as I used to do always, pressing “Import” and “Choose a file (Excel or CSV files)” the web freezes and I can’t do it, even trying several times.
I don’t think it has anything to do with the fact that I’m using a free plan because until now it was working fine and I’m not receiving any kind of message explaining what the problem is.
Any idea?
Thanks

Hi. Just a quick question: are you importing from a web spreadsheet? I’m also on the free plan and what works for me is to download the spreadsheet a import from there. Had no problems since

How big is your file in terms of rows/file size?

That shouldn’t cause a problem. Do you have a lot of empty columns and rows?

Same problem here.
Tried to upload a xlsx with 4800 and freezes.
Tried to upload a new test.xlsx in another free account: 50 rows/1 column. Same problem

Tried to import from google Sheet, only uploads max 499 lines.

I found a solution
My excel had 2 sheets and the data came from a Power Query
What I did is delete all the connections, separate the two sheets in 2 separate excel files and convert the tables to a normal range without any table style
