I have one excel input(.xlsx) which is having all 'General' datatype, but i want columns to be in text format and output to be in xls.

This is why I am using a template having same column names but with required 'text' datatype and want to append data to it.

But im getting error - Error: Output Data (8): AlteryxProcessManager::Start: Timed out in DataWrap2_ConnectNamedPipe after 11000 milliseconds

Have you tried importing the data as it and then using a select tool to change the data type to string that way?
