Worksheet properties from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook) error

I am writing to xlsx files in my alteryx workflow and i receive the following error: 'We found a problem with some content...Do you want to try to recover as much as we can?' Once I click yes, I then receive this pop up: 'Repaired Records: Worksheet properties from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)'

Is there a way correct this?

Hello,

Came across this post while trying to resolve the same issue. In my case this was caused by creating dynamic Excel sheet names which were longer that the 31 Excel sheet name character length limit. I resolved this by limiting the sheet name to 31 characters (using a Left function).

Hope this helps.

I hope this can help something in the future....

I was just having this issue and it seemed to be related to how I was creating the FullPath in the Formula tool, specifically the sheet name.

Before (errors): "C:\Users\UserID\Box\ + [FileName] + "_Summary" +'.xlsx|||' + "'"+"Record Summary"+"$'"

After (no errors): "C:\Users\UserID\Box\" + [FileName] + "_Summary" +'.xlsx|||Record Summary'

Hi @Stephen-Singleton ,

can you please share your workflow so we can see what you're doing?

Thanks,

Hello,

I am experiencing the same issue and would like to know what part of the workflow is not writing to Excel correctly. My workflow is writing to multiple sheets of the same workbook, but the wait to proceed tool should be preventing any write conflicts.

The forum is not letting me attach the workflow file, instead I have attached images of the workflow and the output tool configurations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
