Hi, I'm having errors with the output tool(maybe it was due to the 2020.3 update on September 1st).
Error Name : 'Invalid state to read file'
I've found out that the error appears only when if there is a file that already exists(ex. FS2.xlsx on the capture below).
If I delete the file FS2.xlsx then run the workflow, the output tool works well.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Many thanks!

I've contacted Alteryx Support and sent them a workflow showing errors.
I'll catch up if I get any additional replies.

To the current knowledge from the support team, the "Invalid state to read file" happens when:
1. the path of the output file contains a non-English character.
2. the name of the output file contains a non-English character.
I've got an email that The Development team is currently working on these issues.

Hi,
I am facing the same problem here.
In Portuguese we have characters like 'ç' and 'ã' for example. In my output file, when I removed these characters from the file name, the problem stopped happening.
But this is an old process that has always written to a file with these characters.

I experience the same issue since the update.
A workaround for me until it is solved, is to change the output option to: "Overwrite Sheet or Range". For me, this seems to be working.
