problem getting data into Excel from Splunk

[Helna]

Hi there. Trying to join a few .ai file (created in Adobe Illustrator) to my query in Microsoft Query i get the following:Joins are unsupported. If i click OK, then it freezes up a little and all the opened windows close and current program crashes. I am using Splunk Enterprise 5 and i want to ask, is it problem of wrong query (perhaps i should change it) or the files are corrupt or this error related with Splunk?

Sounds weird a little bit, rsennett_splunk is right, ms query is related with Excel. Maybe you are confused...If you meant Excel, read this then: You can include only one table in your query. Each table corresponds to a report (saved search in Splunk Enterprise 5) in Splunk. If your table doesn't include the columns you want, verify in Splunk that the corresponding report is returning the results you expect, and modify the query if necessary.
If it is really an Adobe Illustrator files, verify them first of all. Do they open correctly? Do you get an error while opening it? I suppose the problem isn't in Splunk either.
If your .ai files are corrupt then run ContentRecovery. To do it manually read this: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/illustratoor/1887-data-retrieval-from-a-damaged-...
and then you will be sure that all the files are fine, write about the results again

It's a bit unclear as to what you're doing IN Splunk.... as MS Query is part of Excel. Can you lay out the picture a bit more clearly as to where you are doing what and what (and how you connect Splunk and Excel) ?
