Alteryx Outputting Corrupt File

Hello, 

I have an issue where I save several Excel Xlxs files to a shared network drive. When the files are opened the files are corrupted. For context I am outputting the files by taking the file name from one I generate, and I have no other options in the Output data option. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Check your format in your path as it should be xlsx and not xlxs, this can cause the issue if you are writing in the wrong format

Thank you for responding. I did check, and it is xlsx.

This is how I solved, in Excel:

  1. Go over to the File Menu and click on Options
  2. In the Options window, choose the last tab,Trusted Centre
  3. Now click on ‘Trusted Center Settings’
  4. In the new window, choose ‘Protected View’
  5. Unchecked all the options available and click OK
