I am tasked with creating a Powershell script that will run via a SQL Server Agent Job (SQL Server 2014). The script will convert all Excel spreadsheets in a folder from from .xlsx to .csv. The script is erroring out.
Below is both the raw script as well as the run output with the error. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
