.xlsb as an input (error)

arjundelara

Hi All,

 

Is there anyone encountered this error message when using a .xlsb as an input

 

ListOfSheets (3) Record #1: Tool #7: Target Excel file may be corrupt! Cannot find required file, or element within file: xl/workbook.xml

 

 

But when I save as the xlsb to xlsx there's no error

 

Just to clarify if there is a solution using a xlsb file

 

Thank you!

Hello @arjundelara ,

 

you must install the respective MS Access driver:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255

After the installation, .xlsb files will appear in the list of possible data inputs in Alteryx.

 

I found the instructions here:

Let me know whether this is the solution for you.

 

Best regards
