Cannot convert from xlsx to xml (Studio 2021)

Question

I have a normal Excel file (xlsx) and want to convert it to xml to add this to an existing sdltb later on. Unfortunately, there are no available fields on the column headers which ought to be there. What could be wrong and how to fix this. By the way, I tried an older xls from last year. On that left column were clearly "German" and "English".

 Your problem is most likely this: 
 
 I didn't test it but I think if you remove the first empty worksheet, or move the "Tabelle1" to the left, then it will work just fine. 
 I also wonder why you don't use the Glossary Converter for this, it's much easier although you'll still need to amend your workbook.
