.xlsb as an input (error)

Question

Hi All,

Is there anyone encountered this error message when using a .xlsb as an input

ListOfSheets (3) Record #1: Tool #7: Target Excel file may be corrupt! Cannot find required file, or element within file: xl/workbook.xml

But when I save as the xlsb to xlsx there's no error

Just to clarify if there is a solution using a xlsb file

Thank you!

Hello @arjundelara ,

you must install the respective MS Access driver:

After the installation, .xlsb files will appear in the list of possible data inputs in Alteryx.

I found the instructions here:

Let me know whether this is the solution for you.

Best regards

Phil
