Any solution in this is much appreciated?

I am not able to open XLSB file in Dynamic Input tool. Dynamic Input (16) Target Excel file may be corrupt! Cannot find required file, or element within file: xl/workbook.xml

Do you already have this driver installed to read in xlsb files? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255

 

This is a requirement to read xlsb files as seen on our data sources page: https://help.alteryx.com/current/designer/data-sources

I wonder if a macro based approach might help you here. Take a look at the following article which has a macro you can use for bringing in multiple xlsb files: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/The-Ultimate-Alteryx-Holiday-gift-of-2015-Read-ALL-Exc...

Finally got a solution from Alteryx Support

Plus the File path string should be 

[FilePath] +"|||"+ "`" + [SheetName] + "$`"

That will do the trick! Glad you got it figured out.

Its loading fine if the file is in Temp or local PC. But, looks like if I load the file from SharePoint and Shared network drive i get error " Dynamic Input (30) Error opening table: Microsoft Access Database Engine: System resource exceeded.\3035 = -66192371. Any idea why?

Hi Pranesh,

PLease note after the $ symbol there is a ` added there.
