Hi @anupgupta12 

 

I guess it will read only the displayed data. If you have a excel with macro you can try it out.

I think, it does not read, when we try to bring macro enabled file through input tool, this file doesn't show up in folder for Alteryx to read.

Hi @anupgupta12 

 

It should be possible.  Do you have Access db driver 2010 installed. If not you, you need to have it installed maybe then you can read the file.
