Corrupt File: XML parse failure - cell has no column definition

[Sarath94]

Hi Team,

I am creating workflow to be running in Alteryx PROD Server, I have two .xlsx files which cant read by Alteryx showing this error "Corrupt File: XML parse failure - cell has no column definition".

I know the work around would be manually opening and resaving again, but in my case user wants Alteryx should do it by automation.

Any work around for this please? This has been pending for more than a month.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Sarath94 instead of the manual opening of the xlsx, have you tried using a run command to open and close the xlsx before processing?  If you used Control Containers you could orchestrate the process to perform the attached process to open and close, then kick off your process.  Then it would be fully automated.

I would also suggest logging an IDEA into Community to make Alteryx compatible with the type of extract you're working with.
