Alteryx not reading input file from excel correctly

[oriacarol]

Hi guys,

I am not sure why this is happening. As you can see in the print screens attached, I have an excel file to be read by Alteryx, but when i run the workflow it returns hour format values rather than names as it's in the original file. Could that be because the original cell in excel is populated by a xlookup formula?

Many thanks

try saving the values without formula in Excel itself.
