Hello,

I am trying to use the censusapi codes and having issues. At the moment, I am limited to code within a server and I am unable to use the internet during my tasks. Per help censusapi page, it looks like it may be possible to call an excel spreadsheet that is physically located within the server:

Example 2: the alternative method, illustrating also the variable parsing and saving capacities
. censusapi, dataset(https://api.census.gov/data/2019/acs/acs5) variables(B17001_001E B17001_002E) predicate("for=county:*") destination("2019_acs_data.txt")

Adapting this example, I tried:
censusapi, dataset("a census data excel file name") variables(P0010003 P0010008) predicate("for=county:*")

However, this gives me an error message "varlist not allowed". How can I overcome this error?

Thank you,
J
