Hi,
I would like to read a data inside a .xls file.
The column headers are in row 4 and below them are the data for each columns.
The name of the sheet is global.
In excel source, I am using sql command with the following sql:
select * from [global$A4:AB5000]

error is: external table is not in correct format

Thanks
