Continue support for .xls files

My company still uses .xls files regularly due to the older systems we use. I will need to run a macro or directly save the .xls files as .xlsx before running workflows. This is annoying and not necessary likely for Alteryx to continue to progress.

Hello @EKasminsky 

xlsx is almost 20 years old, at the time, it was Windows XP at the time ;)  Why do your company still use old softwares? Seems pretty dangerous, not only about pure security but also you may be out of support.

I think we use some older systems internally that output .xls files. 

can it save as txt?
