Since applying the recent update to Trados 2019, every time i try and generate a target excel file i get this error. Do you know if there is any bug related to the update that may be causing this?
Hello Hannah Chew ,
Unfortunately the error 'Object reference not set...' is very generic and doesn't tell us anything about what might be causing the issue.
Please post the full error stack as this will provide useful information.

Thanks, as mentioned this is happening for all excel files but here is one error stack.

Hello Hannah Chew ,
Thanks for this.
You should be able to rectify this quite simply by changing the order of the filters.
This article refers to 2017- but the principle should be the same.

Thanks for the quick response, I have checked this and can't see that there is anything that needs changing?
Hello Hannah Chew,
There is a strange empty line between the file types which I wouldn't expect to see-
Would you be able to perhaps share the file with me please (swhale@sdl.com) and i will take a quick look.
