If in my workflow I have two tables - for example:
Veg | Count | Sheetname |
Carrots | 1 | Veg |
Potatoes | 3 | Veg |
Fruits | Count | Sheetname |
Apples | 2 | Fruits |
Pears | 3 | Fruits |
My aim is to get one excel output with each table on their own sheet without the column 'Sheet name'. However that column is used to rename the sheet names to 'Veg' and 'Fruit', respectively.
Currently both tables are formatted in 'Basic Table'
I use 'Union' and then 'Layout' tool.
Layout mode: Each Group of Records
Group By: 'Sheetname'
Orientation: Vertical with Section Breaks
Section name: Sheetname
Using 'Render', this outputs one excel file, with two sheets named 'Veg' and 'Fruit', and the correct table on each sheet.
However, I have the column 'Sheetname' - how do I remove this from my output?
OR
Is there a better way to rename my sheet names without bringing in this column so that it is not in the final output?
Solved! Go to Solution.
In your "Basic Table" tool, uncheck the Sheetname from column configuration, as shown below. That should fix it.
I have Layout Mode as 'Each Group of Records'
For me, this changes the view for 'Per Column Configuration' so that I do not have the option to unselect a specific column.
Not in the layout tool, inside basic table tool, you can create the table excluding the sheet name, group by sheet name so that same can be used in your layout tool.
Everything will remain same, just inside basic table tool, under column configuration uncheck sheet name. Have it checked in group by.
if that’s not clear I can post a snip of the flow in sometime.
Ah amazing - thank you that works now.
