I am getting an error "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length') referring to line 19. Any idea how I can fix this? Everything else seems to be working, but it is not actually importing the data, I assume because of this "range / length" problem. Any help would be wonderful.

May it be that your data has no rows?
