Missing some Standard connectivity known from Alteryx

Dear community,

I am an Alteryx user for roughly 10 months now and want to explore the opportunities Knime can provide me.

I am working in Finance and have a set of standard file formats to process. Unfortunately things seem to be highly complicated in Knime at first sight. I hope you can make my fears fade away :). I am not a coder but more a business user.

My common file formats to read/write back to are:

*

xlsm / xlsb files (ideally with the opportunity to select ranges)

*

hyper-Extracts (read/process certified Tableau Sources)

*

xlsx (Knime standard -->fine)

*

to tableau Server(Knime standard -->fine)

*

from Hana (Knime standard -->fine)

Thank you very much in advance and best regards,

Christoph
