Unable to export the translated Excel file. Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi all,

When I try to export my translated Excel file from a project in target version or save as an Excel file using the 'Save As' option, it doesn't let me do that. The error screenshots have been given below. Your help would be very much appreciated.

Error dialog box with a red cross icon displaying the message 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' with 'Knowledge Base' and 'Community' buttons and an 'OK' button.

Task Results window showing the 'Export files' task has failed with 2 errors, both stating 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' related to 'My_File_284.xlsx.sdlxliff' in the 'Export files' and 'Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Filters.Excel Plugin' origins.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best Regards,

Bhushan Kulkarni

  • Hi 

    If you click on 'Show details' then post the result here, someone may be able to better identify the problem.

    In the meantime, did you run a Tag Verification on the file?

    You have to also make sure that the Tag Verification is turned on under Project Settings and is set to check your tags.Trados Studio Project Settings window showing Verification option selected with no visible errors or warnings.

    Tag Verification settings window in Trados Studio with options for tag pair, tag content, and tag place change, all set to 'Show'.

    Then you run the tag check by clicking 'Verify' on the Review tab whilst having the file open in the Editor window...

    Trados Studio Editor window with the 'Verify' button highlighted on the Review tab, indicating where to click for tag verification.

    I hope that the above is understandable and that it solves your problem.

    If not, then please post the details here once you've clicked on 'Show details' and someone will be hopefully able to address this issue more precisely.

    All the best,

    Alison Slight smile
