Alteryx Cannot Preserve Formatting on Overwrite for some reason

Hi all,

 

I’m experiencing an issue with Alteryx where it suddenly cannot output to an existing sheet or range when the "Overwrite Sheet" option is selected, with "Preserve Formatting on Overwrite" checked. It only seems to be generating a raw Excel file. The strangest thing is that it shows a certain number of records were written to the specified path, but no output and date modified date didn't change.

 

I do see .tmp pop up for a sec and disappear, it didn't create .bak and replace the existing excel file.

 

I think it's a bug don't know how to fix it, I tried reboot, create new workflow, and output to different location.

 

Pls let me know how to fix it...

 

many thanks!

Does your Path include the cell range to overwrite?
