Academy | Output "Try It" issues

[ahosten92]

Hi everyone,

I have been working my way through the Alteryx Academy learning path but have run into a small issyes. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed an issue with Task 4 of the Output TRY IT! tasks?

Task 4: "Output to .xslx called 'Counties2', name the sheet 'Sheet 1' by default. However, create a batch output that generates a new tab for each county (Hint: Change file name option near bottom of config)
Remove the county data so it is not contained within the data of the sheets, but remains on the tab names
This also must run successfully twice to count :)"

I have noticed the solution example still contains the county data.

Can anyone confirm that the process to not include the county data is to simply uncheck the 'keep field in output' option?

Hi @ahosten92 

The answer is yes. When you check the box to Keep the Field In Output, it means that the column being used to create the file path will remain. So to remove it, simply uncheck the box.

I attached a simple WF to demonstrate that for you.

Pedro.
