how to read .XLSB file in designer, 

[Gumsmenezes]

Hi there, just like you would normally do with a xlsx file. I personally like to drag from the folder directly to the Canva.

No , it's not working, throwing error

Make sure you change #2 to .xlsb

[curator_at_work]

there .xlsb is not an option

[Gumsmenezes]

It could be a version issue. What version are you using?

You can check this post: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Excel-xlsb-Files-in-2018-1/m-p...

I attached what it looks like in version 2023.2, for you reference.
