Thats good news indeed, will help to get rid of some annoying script/vba interfaces to turn .xlsb into .xlsx. Thanks for the heads up! I was mostly hoping for some new ways to interact with Excel, e.g. trigger calculations or feed inputs into an open file. Our goal is to efficiently integrate an Excel engine in an Alteryx workflow to perform certain calculations that are too cumbersome to set up in Alteryx. The solution I came up with so far is neither performing very well nor is it particularly stable (saving intermediary results in a Temp .xlsx file, trigger vbscript to load temp data into engine, calculate and output results into another temp .csv file). But let's see, I guess it's only a matter of time until someone in the community comes up with a more elegant solution to this problem :).
