I’m in the exact same situation.

Having the same problem.
XLS and CSV files not recognized for over a month!
Does anyone have a successful experience with XLS analysis these days?

I’ve tried to connect with support, but there’s only an AI assistant… Is there a way to talk to a human on this?

Hey there!
Have you eventually fixed that?

I just used normal ChatGPT not the Data Analyst and it worked for me now. Read the excel spreadsheet like it did before in Data Analyst

I have been also experiencing the same issue, I did some analysis a few days ago with everything going smoothly and yestarday it seems to not be able to read xlsx or csv, this is utterly dissapointing

This issue persists—it works sometimes and fails at other times. What a disappointment! This service is utterly unreliable. ChatGPT team, we need a FIX.

Same issue, so frustrating !

The image shows a code snippet in Python for loading an Excel file, with a message indicating an error in analysis due to a missing file, and a request to resend the file. (Captioned by AI)

I have found chat to be a ineffective AI tool for the simplest of tasks. Even if I provide all of the data it cannot create a spreadsheet consistently without major errors in its processing capabilities. Sorry to say that I will probably be cancelling my plus subscription and waiting for AI to become a little smarter
