Hi,

When I use the .xls file in the Alteryx app, I receive the attached error message.

Could you please confirm if the Alteryx app supports the .xls Excel format?
I have attached the Excel file and the error message for your reference.


Note
: xlsx excel format is working in Alteryx app.

 

Thank you
Akash

Yes, Alteryx is able to read .xls files. Need to see the file itself to see what's going on. I recommend opening your .xls file in notepad to see if it is really .xls or some other format.

 

P.S: Just a note on your Alteryx Designer version support of .xls - https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/XLS-File-Format-Deprecation-and-End-of-Life-in-Alteryx...
