  Validate File Type: Make sure that the file type is compatible with the extraction process (e.g., .xlsx, .csv) and that it is not corrupted.
  Recreate the File: If the file appears to be corrupted or improperly formatted, consider recreating it from the source data, ensuring that the header row is included.
