Upgraded to 2.6.2 display x y data - python not working?

Use 

Excel To Table (Conversion)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation 

Something is probably up with the excel file or maybe it is use by excel.

Adding excel directly is a shortcut, but not the best way of using data from that source

Thank you for the reply

Any suggestions if not the best way?

Uninstalled reinstalled no patch xy data works again
