Lunchbox Excel reader gives error

Hi,

I’m trying to read an excel file from grashopper (inside revit 2025 with rhino8). But the component return an error…


I tried with a toggle boolean button, with the file being on my desktop or on the server but nothing seems to solve the problem… the excel file is simply number to create a curve.
By the way, “A” is the name of the worksheet, i tried with different naming but nothing changed.
i installed the plug in with the package installer from rhino. i cannot link the excel but here is the full content (really nothing special to it)

If u have any idea on how to solve this i would be gratefull.
Cheers,

Colin

Is this the very latest Lunchbox plugin? If i recall they are up to speed for Rhino 8 in .NetCore (7), the issue might be that Revit 2025 is in .NetCore 8. Do you have Revit 2024 or below installed ?(.netframework 4.8)

Thanks for the fast response.
Well having it installed by the package manager i would assume it is. How can i verify that? Should i uninstall it and download it from food4rhino?
I do not have revit 2024. I can try and download it tomorrow if needed. Otherwise are there other option of plug-ins that allow to read excels file that would avoid me installing new revit version?

Package manager should have the latest.

I run pretty minimal in plugins to keep down load times and clean builds for the constant testing/troubleshooting.

My personal favorite was NPOI, but that appears having issues in the latest per the comments.

Pancake would is my best guess… PancakeSpreadsheet | Food4Rhino

Hi Japhy,

my brother suggested i could read the data with rhino on the side and link the file with revit inside, so the revit version would not cause problems but with rhino8 only i have a new error message…

any idea what would cause this ?
