Getting this error while trying to import GST Rates from excel by using Import From Excel Action on Business Central (Cloud) version. I'm able to use the same action OnPrem successfully. How should I go about solving this issue?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,

    I am not sure from where you are using "Import from Excel" action. Also if you are using customization you need to check that one.

    Thanks.

    Can you share your code?

    If you are using .net variables in your on-prem code then you need to change that because you can not use .net variables in the cloud.

    Hi, The development methods of On-Pre and SaaS are different.

    If you are on Cloud, I hope the following example can give you some hints.

    Hello,

    This cannot be done in SaaS release. You may want to explore other alternatives. Please ask your partner or CSP or developer for assistance.

    Thank you.
