Does your Excel sheet have empty rows and did you confirm that the rows have numeric values in the appropriate columns?

Hi, Is this a customization?

This is because of System.Evaluate(var Any, Text [, Integer]) Method.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/methods-auto/system/system-evaluate-method

The system is trying to convert a null value to Decimal, so an error is occurred.

You can follow Brad_P's suggestion and fill in the empty information in the import file.
But I still recommend updating the source code. If it is empty, it is better not to execute System.Evaluate.

Hope this will help.

Thanks.
