End of Medium Character

[adrian_boeh]

I have a strong feeling Alteryx doesn't handle ascii control character End of medium (EM) when writing to an excel sheet. Created an unreadable excel file. However if you write the same data to csv and then open it in excel everything is fine. My idea is to have the bug fixed or to be informed what I did wrong.

Hi Adrian,

This is indeed a bug, and we are working on getting it fixed.   It would be useful to know how you are using this control character i.e., is it in your data, or is it a field separator? If you could send us a data sample of just a few records, it would help us narrow down the bug further. Please feel free to post it here, or send it to me directly at pfarrar@alteryx.com.

Thanks,
