Change filename using date from a column

You can use a workflow like this one to do that:

1) I used the formula tool to build the filename (it is without specifying the folder, so it will save at the same location of the workflow)

2)Inside of the output tool, you can configure it to take the filename from your the column generated by the above formula:

Choose the "Replace FileName with group" option

Click the field to group on drop down also.. are there any columns that appear there?

You can use a join tool right (joining the column with file name) towards the end in order to have a field with file name to choose from.

Check out the Dynamic Input tool. Under the Developer tab, single-left-click the Dynamic Input tool, click Open Example, run the sample workflow, and review the sample output.

You may need to also use a Formula tool to incorporate your date into a text string like a Full Path (folder name and file name), going into the Dynamic Input tool.

Using the render tool you dont need to specify the sheet. It is like this:
