Hi Raquel

Check this out: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2010349

As there is no real 'solution' the workaround would be to unhide the columns (or remove them from the excel altogether)

Hello Marc,

Our error doesn't include any hidden columns and our SP is 10.1.

We are facing this issue when we load a query from BW.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thank you very much,

Best regards,
