Alteryx Error: External table is not in the expectated format

Priyav305

Hello,

I am trying to use input xlsb file which is giving me following error:

Error opening connect string : Microsoft Access Database Engine : External table is not in the expected format \3274 = -328602519.

Unfortunately, I could not be able to share the xlsb file as it contains confidential data.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

@Priyav305 I would try opening up this file in Excel and resaving it
