Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Question

I keep getting the same error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when I click "save target as" to save into an excel file. What am I doing wrong? this had not happened before.

Hi Sandra Gaviria , 
 
I doubt you are doing anything wrong. It might be useful to know what version of Studio you are using though just in case we need to talk about a specific filetype version. 
 
But try this: 
 
- Open the source file again using the "Translate Single Document" process 
- Save it to create a single file project 
- Try to save target now before you do anything. 
- If it works go onto the next step, but if it doesn't then we'll need to consider more advanced trouble shooting 
- Pretranslate the file using your Translation Memory 
- Save the target file 
 
If none of that helps, and if you are allowed to share the file you can send me the fully translated sdlxliff and the original source file and I'll happily take a look.
