Hyphen in the sheet name of an XLS file

Dittau

Hello,

 

Is there an Alteryx limitation to creating a sheet name in an XLS file from Alteryx with a hyphen?


take the example Apple-sauce


when I try it Alteryx shows the “-“ the whole process but then the actual file shows the underlying symbol “_”

 

what i want “Apple-sauce”

 

what Alteryx creates “Apple_sauce”

 

thanks

I just tried it, and yes it seems like a bug - in the meantime, can you output to .xlsx?

 

Can you also report it via Mission Control? That way you'll get direct help on the issue.

I’m not sure how to report to mission control.

I can not replicate this issue at my 2023.2 version, it seems it works just fine with Hyphen.

@Qiu it works for file names, but not for sheets within the file!
