Crealytics Spark Excel Package import issues

Question

I am trying to process Excel files using Spark. I have created a session and added the dependent jar and package in configuration.

Spark Version = 3.1.1 Scala version = 2.12

I have added this jar = "spark-excel_2.12-3.1.1_0.18.7".

But still I am getting this error while trying to read an excel file.

Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o40.load.

I tried adding

poi-5.2.3.jar poi-ooxml-5.2.3.jar poi-ooxml-schemas-4.1.2.jar

but still getting the same error.

What could be the issue here. as I have tried to be careful about spark version etc.

Regards
