Can Excel Cell Updater not write to xlsm files?

[kowisoft]

Hello everyone,

I have a KNIME workflow that should take some data and update a specific cell in an Excel Macro file (xlsm).

However, whenever I want to do this, I get a very strange error message, see screenshot

I researched a bit and found out that in the past (2 years back) KNIME was not capable of using the Excel Cell Updater to write to XLSM files.

Is that still the case?

Thank you very much in advance.

@kowisoft Unfortunately, the Excel Cell Updater node only supports .xls and .xlsx files.
.xlsm (macro-enabled workbooks) are not supported, which is why it cannot write to them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
