Loading Excel File

When trying to load an excel file , I'm getting the following error

 

"Error loading sheet content. Reason: The selected XLSX file seems to be malformed as it is missing a required file entry: 'xl//xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml'

 

I converted the data to csv and it loaded, but am wondering what the reason behind this error is and more importantly what I can do to prevent it.

 

Thanks

    There appears to be a problem with the XLSX file, does it contain any special macros or addins? Was it created with Excel or exported from some other 3rd party software?

    Thanks for getting back so soon.

    I exported it from SAS Base

    That might be the problem. Normally we read XLSX in just fine but sometimes 3rd party exporters do something wonky. I would suggest exporting it as a CSV from SAS software.
