Google Drive Output Error: Error While Writing to XLSX File

Hey Folks,

 

Getting an incredibly unhelpful error when trying to write to a G-sheet using the Google Drive Output tool: "Error while writing to XLSX file." This is very confusing because I am writing to a g-sheet and it is specified as such in the configuration window. The data I am consuming is coming from an XLSX file, so perhaps Alteryx doesn't like that the input source file type doesn't match the output source file type?

I'd recommend reporting it as an Alteryx Case (https://my.alteryx.com/cases). The GDrive Tools are so buggy! I have about a dozen open tickets for the tools.

I was getting this error and the reason for me was that I had a '/' in the field I was using to create tabs.  Maybe check your data to see if you have any special characters.
