pleas ensure that you enable the “Macros” in excel to work these tools correctly. you can enable macros by going to Options >Trust center > “Trust center settings” on the right hand side. Thereafter, click on macro settings > Click to “Enable all macros(not recommended) potentially dangerous code can run” option.

Further click on external content > Click to select “Enable all data connections(not recommended) option. Similarly, click on “Enable automatic update for all workbook links(not recommended) option.

Also, if you are copying the data from other sources and pasting in this RFD 01 form than ensure that you are pasting it  by choosing "past special" option and then select text.

Same issue, please provide solution.

Thanks

am getting Error while uploading JSON for refund saying " invalid Data format". please let me know how to upload.

Dear GST stakeholders ..Here is the solution for error !!!

The refund offline utility as downloaded from GST portal showing errors as follows

Error 1: Either invalid date or Please enter the Invoice or Doc date in dd-mm-yyyy format

Error 2: SI.No with Duplicate Entry in row Number 13

Error 3 : The uploaded JSON file which was created via offline utility has invalid data format. .

Even though the data entered is correct..Lot of complaints and request in this regard have been received .. I have made a little modification in the VBA program code and rectified the common errors ..

Requesting the stakeholders (tax payers, practitioners, accountants, professionals etc. )may use this modified tool..

Please use MS Office 2010/13/16 for using the Excel VBA based utility..
