Issue with XLS files not overwriting data instructed by output tool

Hi

 

Has anyone ever encountered an issue with their XLS file not overwriting old data, even when the Output tool has the option "Overwrite sheet/file" selected? 

In other words, the new data is simply being placed underneath the old data instead of the old data overwritten. 

 

Does anyone know if there's a setting in Excel to stop this from happening? The issue seems to be specific to the XLS file itself and not the Alteryx workflow, since when I run my workflow and set the output to a completely new XLS file, the issue goes away.
