When an Excel spreadsheet is used as the data source for a new dataset in bi.ondemand.com,  the data set fails to upload to bi.ondemand.com.  An error indicating "Something went wrong" appears after a long wait.

Excel workbooks containing unused worksheets can occasionally prevent the xls file from being uploaded to bi.ondemand.com.

Please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Open the Excel workbook.
2. At the foot of the workbook, click on any unused worksheets.  Note, typically there will be 2 unused worksheets as a default.
3. Right click on the unused worksheet and select "Delete"
4. Repeat for subsequent unused worksheets.
5. Save the Excel file
6. Re-upload the xls file to bi.ondemand.com
