Preview Error rendering macro 'viewxls' : Failed to find attachment with Name Product_Backlog_ActionItems.xlsx

Hi Guys,

I tried to embed an excel file on the page via a macro but it gave me the above error. There is no issue in the filename and the excel sheet has been attached on the page

Any Suggestions?

As stupid as it sounds, this usually happens when there's a special character in the page title (and not necessarily in the file itself). Try removing special characters (or even numbers) in your page title if there are any and then attaching the file again.

Sounds like a good suggestion!

Hi!

Try to remove the underline "_" symbol from the filename and try again.

This might help.

Hi Greg,

Tried removing "_" but didn't help. Can you think of anything else?

I reproduced the issue and it worked fine with me:

Can you confirm that the page does have an attachment as in here:
