    Excel binary file .xlsb as a data source works well for few query steps but starts crashing soon with error as "External file format not supported". Please enable excel binary file format support or provide an error in the beginning so that query steps are not performed at all.

    RE: Excel Binary file support

    I have tried opening the Excel Binary file however keep getting the error "External file format not supported", is it possible for you all to add the necessary support.
