Undefined subroutine &Foswiki::decode_utf8 called at /var/www/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Engine.pm line 196

Hello guys,

I'm facing issues trying to use the TABLE2EXCEL macro.

Here is the error log I'm getting:

Undefined subroutine &Foswiki::decode_utf8 called at /var/www/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Engine.pm line 196.
