Output Data - Error: Encountered existing data beyond the specified range

Hello,

 

I have an excel template that contains a header, a table and some static data below the table.

 

I have created the table data in alteryx and wish to get the output without fields in -

 

%User.FolderPath%Input/file.xlsx|||Summary$A4:E4

 

there is data above and below this range, how can I correct this error "Encountered existing data beyond the specified range"

@saachitalwar 
in the configuration of output tool you have not turned off the table headers
so it is considering it 2 rows thats the reason of error

mark done if solved.

I did this but it's giving the same error

 

Could it be because there's static data outside in the A to E columns but below the table?

I tried to specify the exact range but this didn't work either
