I’m trying to load the data to table, but I’m getting this message: “initialization of the data source failed.  Check the database server, or contact your database administrator. Make sure the external database is available, and then try the operation again. If you see this message again, create a new data source to connect to the database.”

The thing is that there’s no external database, the worksheet is on the desktop of my laptop. Has anyone experienced this, and how did you manage it?

thank you

Hi Victor,

Welcome to our forum!

Thanks for sharing your file. I was able to refresh the query without any issues. I suspect it may be something to do with your PC. Try rebooting to see if that helps.

Hi Mynda,

Still not working. But, if it works on your PC, than sure there's something wrong with my PC's settings. 

Thank you for your help.

Victor
