Issue Importing Excel/CSV Files in RapidMiner on MacBook

I’m unable to import my Excel (.xlsx) and CSV files into RapidMiner on my MacBook. When I click the file selection icon, it shows my folders (Desktop, Downloads, etc.), but no files appear.

What I’ve Tried:

  • Moved the file to Desktop, Documents, and Downloads.
  • Manually entered the file path.
  • Refreshed the folder view in the import window.
  • Checked file permissions to ensure access.
  • Saved the file as .xlsx and .csv.
  • Used both "Read Excel" and "Read CSV" operators, but no files appear.
  • Restarted RapidMiner and my MacBook.
  • Redownloaded the file.
  • Searched online but found no solution.

Has anyone encountered this issue before or know a fix? Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Mian ,

    Sorry to hear you are having difficulty on your Mac.

    When I attempt to use the Read CSV or Read Excel operators on my own Mac it works properly - see screenshots

    I notice that for me the dialog box says "Open File", whereas the dialog box you are showing says "Open Data". Can you tell me what version of AI Studio you are using and your exact steps?
