TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP getting error, need help!

Question

Good day, everyone!
I am using FM TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP to read in an Excel file.  However, I am getting an error, and the error information I'm displaying isn't helping me much.  I'm using the widely-found sample code for this FM that is on this forum.  Here's my error routine after the FM call:
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
          WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.
The problem is that this information isn't helpful to me.  When I run it, I get this:
"Error during conversion - field type conflict (see long text)"
There are values in the sy-msgv fields, but aside from one value being a value from my Excel spreadsheet, I don't know what the others mean.  I've searched and can find no documentation for this FM.  Also, I don't know how to "see long text."
Can anyone help?  Points awarded for all helpful answers.
Thanks!!
