Bug: Can't "Overwrite Sheet" on 1997-2003 XLS files - 100% reproduction rate

[AkisM]

100% reproduction rate. Try reading in an 1997-2003 XLS file, add any type of data to it, and output it to the same file with the "Overwrite Sheet" option. Throws out a bug notification.

hi @AkisM,

Could you please share your Alteryx Designer version as well as if it is admin or non-admin

Could you also share the file /sample data and a screenshot?

Best

hi @AkisM,

Sadly, I can't reproduce your error. 

I have the latest version 2019.4.4.202026 - Admin

Do you think that you can migrate to the latest version?

I'm not sure if we can upgrade, would have to discuss that with my organization. Would it be possible for you to try running the workflow I provided on the same version of alteryx I used, just to rule out a possibility that it is caused by a machine-related interaction?

Sorry I can't test your same version.

I have tried to find the exact version that you have, but the system overwrite it with a newer version.
