Hey @jsilavong,

Just right click then insert the macro into your workflow, then pass over the password and file location.

@SH_94 The python environment was updated with version 2021.1.4 release so 2020 is not covered.

Hi @IraWatt,

 

Thanks for your sharing with the Password Protected Excel Input Tool, I tried to use it but encountering some error messages as indicated below.

 

May I seek for further advice on the issue?

  1. Is it essential to use this add-on tool with the minimum version 2022.1 of Alteryx Designer? My current version is 2021.4

Great tool! Is there an option to choose a sheet if your Excel has multiple sheets in it?

Works great for the first worksheet, but how can it be configured to read a different tab in the file?

Hi there, wondering if anyone else has encountered issues with this tool when importing formula-driven data from Excel? We've got a use case where an existing report (password protected Excel spreadsheet) is being imported as one of the data sources. That reporting contains Excel formulas (the usual Vlookups, IF statements, some simple calculations).

 

What seems to be happening with that data is that rather than importing the values, we're getting the formulas in the dataset. We've done a bit of testing on a simple file and replicated the same issue - pls see screenshot below. Any ideas on how we could fix this?
