EN: The Excel file could not be read, because the header is corrupted. 


Cause:

The header of the excel sheet you want to load has to meet specific conditions because otherwise the app will not know in which fields certain information has to be written.

Solution:
  1. First create an excel export from Revit and export the parameters. 
  2. Change the desired parameters in Excel. Read-only parameters cannot be changed. 
  3. Import this excel file back using the Import from Excel function. 
  4. The changed values are now implemented in the Revit model.
