Hi All, In my job I have to upload an xlsx file (work laptops are Macs) to an in-house app. I'm using Excel for Mac 16.70. The data I'm adding includes lots of non-English characters (as its country and currency data).

When uploading I'm getting this error message:
ApplicationError: Failed to execute 'btoa' on 'Window': The string to be encoded contains characters outside of the Latin1 range.

I've looked into this and putting it all together it looks like I should try to ensure that all the data in my xlsx file is in Latin1 range. I've done lots of googling but can't fins any way of doing this. Any ideas anyone? Thanks!
