I get the following error using the blog post when expanding the zip in the last step.

I think it's because the function is not handling "Semicolon" separtor of the csv file.

 

Alternatively, you could extract the file and get data from the .csv file.

Thanks, @adudani.

I had to use the extraction method to get the data in and realized the semicolon issue as well.
I tried with SDMX as guided here.

But it doesn't work.
