    Hi @Christopher Jack ,

    Warning: 0x8001C004 at Checks files: The For Each File enumerator is empty.

    1.Please check if the excel files exist in the folder that you used in the Foreach Loop Container.

    2.Please set example value in the variable and test if we can preview excel data in the Excel Source.

    Best regards,
    Mona
