I have an Excel file that is password protected. When I log in to the account from the computer and try to open the file, I click on it but there is no option or access to type the password to open the file. This only happens on the account from the computer and not on the account from the mobile phone (where I have the option to type in the file password). I click on the blue "Open" button and then click on the link to Excel - and it shows me an error message and does not give access to typing the password of the file. As a result, I currently do not have any access to the file from my computer. How can I solve this ??

I am looking for some help to let Alteryx to read and output password protected Excel Files. Besides using R or Python, look like there're old discussions on using a macro. However, look like that macro was taken off the shelf some time ago.
Thank you. The macro runs with no error. However, the macro automatically open the password protected file and then prompt to enter the password. and the output anchor of the macro isn't showing the data on the Excel tab.
Anything I am doing wrong here. I thought the password can be entered as a string in workflow so the macro can absorb the relevant information such as file path, file name and password and then output the data for further analysis.
