Unable to output to an Excel file with a number in the file name

I'm having a weird problem with a workflow in Designer Desktop where every time I try to output to an Excel file with a number in the file name, the workflow errors out. I get an "unable to open archive for zipping" error. When I remove the number from the output file name, it works fine. This is a problem because I want to add the current date to the output file name. 

 

I am using version 2022.1.1.30961 and I have AMP engine turned off.

 

Any ideas why this might be happening?

@apmessner can you screen shot your input file name also the error. To add the current date to the file name you can also use the 'FileName'+DateTimeFileFormat(DateTimeToday(),'%Y_%m_%d')+'.xlsx'  in the formula tool
