Error in Record ID: Too many fields

DrewCroft

I am encountering a strange error when executing a workflow to extract/transpose data from Excel:

 

Error: Record ID (6): Internal Error in RecordReader::ReadFields: Too many fields

 

The same workflow works fine when targeting other worksheets with the same layout.  I can't discern why this error would be happening.  I attempted to use the Record ID tool with all four data types, none seem to work. 

 

Attached are screenshots, a sample workflow, and a sample source workbook.  Each tool container is a different configuration of the same workflow.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not familiar enough with cloud to know for sure, but it likely is as the tools are pretty basic tools. I prefer this method versus specific cells since you could eventually exceed the number of cells specified (granted that won't likely be for a while since it's 500+ rows higher than it is currently set).

 

In any event, I'm glad it works for you.

Since Alteryx uses AMP engine for processing workflows, the option would be present in cloud as well, not sure though.
