importtbl - Can't set range for excel import

[fboralli]

EViews 9 32bit build jun 24 2015

If I run this code :

Code: Select all

importtbl(name=folhas)  cv1.xlsx  range="graf!a1:z100"

I get this error:
'cv1.xlsx range=""graf!a1:z100' is not a legal file name in
"IMPORTTBL(NAME=FOLHAS) CV1.XLSX
RANGE="GRAF!A1:Z100"".

and I have been unable to set a range for my excel sheet.
If I run this code below, it runs fine:

Code: Select all

importtbl(name=fls)  cv1.xlsx

Could you update to the latest version and see if you're still having issues?

[fboralli]

I am not the administrator of the machine running eviews, and also, it does not have direct access to the internet, blocking the use of the auto update feature.
If possible, I would rather not update the version on every update, because it is a somewhat difficult process for me.

Understood, but there is no way for us to fix the bug without being able to update your copy of EViews.

Can you try to reproduce this error on the current version?

I was unable to replicate it on the current version.
