Parse error

hi, community,

I am downloading the data/excel from a software (see attached pic) and every cell is in = "  " format. I can't use this input as Alteryx give an error unless I hardcode first. Is there a way I can do it without performing the manual step of hardcoding? Thank you for your help.
