Input Tool not Showing Data

SamYX

I'm trying to input a Named Range called "VL_List" ( Pic 1) but the output of the Input Tool shows all different values ( Pic 2) with 3 columns where as the Named Range is only one column  

But if i remove the adjacent values ( Pic 3) the Input Tool gives correct values ( Pic 4) 

 

Please help to understand why the Tool behaves like that

Hi @SamYX 

 

I believe you are using the .xlsx format to import.

 

Please make use of the Range which will help you to import only the desired columns.

Simply follow these steps:
Go to Settings, then System.
Select Apps & Features, and then click Manage optional features.
Click Add a feature, find Hindi typing, and then install.

Hi @ShankerV ,

Thanks for the solution but i just want to know why the Named Range is behaving differently with data adjacent to the column and without 

I can use the Rage feature but Named Range is more easy to use every time if the range changes

Hi @SamYX 

 

I see when the Table Range is also changed, the Alteryx is reading the Data's are reading correctly.
