Hi Everyone,

I have a case where I looking to use Excel file as an input and I want to use the same file as a template to have output in it and publish it in alteryx server

provided that sheet name and range for data filling is always same but not the file name 

I can think of tools like Blob, file browser from interface tools

Is it even possible??

Blob Tool wo;; do the job for you.
You set a static template with a neutral name and then when you write out the template rename it as needed and then write in the data
