Imput excel .xlsb files

Silva

I work with several excel .xlsb files but I can't add those to Alteryx Designer Version 2020.4.5.12471

 

The Excel Binary option shows under Files connections like below.

Hi @Silva,

 

Did you try dropping the file into the canvas? 

 

It should properly identify the format for you. 

 

If it will not work please try this access drive:

Hey @Silva 

 

Can you try just typing it into the box here:

Dropping the files doesn't work.

 

But I've installed the Access driver and now works!

 

Many thanks
