XLS Error

Question

Hi,

When I use the .xls file in the Alteryx app, I receive the attached error message.

Could you please confirm if the Alteryx app supports the .xls Excel format?
I have attached the Excel file and the error message for your reference.

Note: xlsx excel format is working in Alteryx app.

Thank you
Akash

Yes, Alteryx does support .xls files. It could be the issue during decoding process or the context in your file

Yes, Alteryx is able to read .xls files. Need to see the file itself to see what's going on. I recommend opening your .xls file in notepad to see if it is really .xls or some other format.

P.S: Just a note on your Alteryx Designer version support of .xls - https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/XLS-File-Format-Deprecation-and-End-of-Life-in-Alteryx-Designer/ba-p/1277026
