How to output an xlsb file

KMadamba

Hi,

 

What I am trying to do is to gather one specific sheet from all files that may have these file types (xlsx, xlsm, and xlsb ) and output them in the same file type after the workflow has done its data blending. I have no problems doing this with xlsx and xlsm but..

 

How do I this with .xlsb files?

 

I am getting this error:

Error: Output Data (128): Error creating table "'Sheet1$'": Microsoft Access Database Engine: ''Sheet1$'' is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.\3125 = -537199594

My configuration looks like this:snip.PNG

 

The Field name PATH looks like this:

There are no problems with this formula on xlsm and xlsx.. just the xlsb files.

 

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @KMadamba 

 

Do you have the correct Access driver installed?

Thank you for the quick response @jamielaird !

I had a 2007 version installed. Time for me to upgrade.

 

Cheers

Is there any other options other than installation of the 2010 access database engine since my company does not allow the installation of this?
