QRadar: Exported reference set data in CSV format results in “Error 0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect” from Microsoft Excel

Troubleshooting


Problem

Users who export reference sets as CSV file, then attempt to open it in Microsoft Excel might see the error: 'Error 0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect' is displayed, which can be caused by a colon character (:) in the name of the reference set. Error 0x80070057 is not QRadar specific, but a Microsoft Excel error message due to how special characters are handled. Reopening the file after skipping the error message in Windows typically resolves this problem.
