Please tell me if this is possible because I can't seem to get this to work.
I have an empty template excel file on my C: drive that only contains Column Headers which are formatted. I am trying to run a workflow that will take data, append it to the template file (Starting on second row) and then resave the template (with the new data) as a new file with today's date at the end of the file name. I have attached some screenshots and the workflow but I can't seem to figure out a way of doing this. Is this even possible? Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
It is possible.
The method I use involves the Blob tools.
You first copy the template file and save it as a new file so your original template remains untouched for future uses.
Then you output your data to the specific ranges you are wanting.
This is an example workflow I built for someone else a while back, but it think it should help you as well.
In this example, I wrote to two ranges in the same sheet of a template excel file that has sum formulas in it.
Template file
Output File
What is happening is that the existing file is Template.xlsx.
And you in the formula tool change the name to template + year month and day. This file does not exist and you are appending a non-existent file,
I reviewed your flow at a glance
