Data input rounding issue with XLSB file

HMSUM
7 - Meteor

I have a xlsb file.

 

When I load data with the file closed, the data load in Alteryx is rounded to Integer.

However, when I open the file (keep the file open in excel), and run the workflow again, the data load in Alteryx is with decimal amount.

What I expect is to have the bottom result (with decimal) even not opening the file. 

*** Assume no change to the source data

 

Attached my sample xlsb source and workflow, any one have same issue / workaround?

 

XLSB file (as Alteryx community not support xlsb file, so put in dropbox)

Try to convert the XLSB file to XLSX (use the macro in this thread: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Invalid-Argument-error-message-when-tr...)
