When i connect to excel file i can see the content in query but after build i have the above error \

"Fatal error: Source: ADODB.Connection

Description: Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed. in E:\PHPRUNNER\Project1\output\connections\Connection.php on line 611"
Any idea how to solve it?

I would highly recommend switching to another database type. Using Excel as a datasource will bring you nothing but pain.
The error message itself means that connection string references a database driver or provider that doesn't exist on your machine. To see the connection string proceed to the "Output directory" screen and click New under "Server Database Connections". It will show you the current connection string.
