'Getting started' - excel lesson error message

Hello,

 

Hope you're all well! My name's Laura, I've just joined the Alteryx community and very new to all this - apologies if this is the wrong discussion forum for my question. I'm going through the 'Getting started' lessons and I'm a bit stuck with inputting data from an excel spreadsheet. I keep getting this error message (please see screen shot). I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me - I think it might be a problem with my laptop?

 

Best wishes,

 

Laura

Do you also have the Excel sheet open in Excel while you're trying to open it in Alteryx?

That is usually what causes that error.

Ah yes, that's it - thanks Patrick!

If that worked, be sure to mark this as solved so others in the community with the same question can find it.

Thanks!
