Hi All,
I would like to add the current date an app was ran on an Alteryx server to the output file name. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!

Maybe we can use DateTimeToday function.

Yes, had the same thought. Do you have any ideas on how to get that in the file name for the XLXS output?
Thanks,

I published your workflow to our Alteryx Server and there was no output file. Do you know why?
Thanks!

I am not sure what do you by publishing?
To make it work on Alteryx Server, you need either blend above sample to your existing workflow,or
If you just upload the my sample workflow onto alteryx server, you will need to some configurations such as output folder, otherwise it will not work.

Sorry I am probably not using proper terminology. When I run the workflow on my computer it works perfectly. However, when I publish it to my private gallery on our server it errors. I have attached screenshots of each step and results along with the errors. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi @Gr4c3Sult
The issue is here the path you are setting is a path on the server that workflow will not be able to access. You need to use shared drive path to write the file and gallery should have access to shared drive to able to read/write the file. The workflow would be as below.
Workflow:
Hope this helps : )

Hi @Gr4c3Sult
This is a sharepoint i am speaking about shared drive or network drive. Which acts like a common folder among teams to save files.
Hope this is clear
Hope this helps : )
