Hi, I believe you are trying to read a temporary Excel file. You can check this if the file path starts with ~$. This file gets created when someone has the file opened in Excel. You can close those files or even insert a filter tool before the macro with the expression 

!StartsWith([FileName],"~$")

Hi @gabrielvilella ,

 

May i know why i can't see it via my local file folders but i can see it inside the alteryx?

 

I have two macro in one flow and is it the filter tool expression need to be put in front of both macro?

 

Thank you.

By default, Windows Explorer does not display hidden files. If you want to see them you want to enable that option under the View tab
