excel input no sheet specified, but I don't get a list

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is an error or blatant lack of knowledge, but I'm not able to open a list of excel files.

They're all in the same format. Each excel has 1 sheet called 'Data' and a table called 'Table1'

I attached an example file.

The list below 'select a sheet' is just blank. Any ideas?

On a sidenote: I recently updated to 2018.2 and since then I have to reboot my computer frequently because Alteryx starts bugging (like it returns errors that I know don't exist, and when I reboot it runs smoothly)

Thanks,

Mikis

Hello,

Support told me how to fix it, even though I don't really understand what the problem is

If I understand properly it has to do with a microsoft update or something where you need to use the 'legacy' option

Start with downloading the 2010 Access driver

And then use the excel legacy option

And it works

Thanks for the tips,

Mikis

This is strange, I get the same problem with your file.

What version of Alteryx are you using, 2018.2?

I resolved the issue with your file by adding a 2nd sheet, which then allowed the drop down to appear and I could select the original data sheet.

As a temp fix you may look to do this; I'd consider raising a support ticket with alteryx though to identify why this may occur (support@alteryx.com).

Yes, indeed. 2018.2

I'm relieved you have the same issue. I already started watching youtube video's on how to upload excel files
