Blob Output Error

billbacher

I am receiving the following error on my Blob Output tool when trying to rename a file: "Error creating the file ... The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. (123)"

 

I have a very simple workflow where I am reading in a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) template from a blob input and then using a dynamic field to determine the new file path and file name and saving the file in the new location using the blob output.

 

While troubleshooting I found that I'm able to successfully output the data to a Microsoft Excel file using the new file path with an output tool, but receive the error on the blob output tool. Any ideas on what is causing the issue?

I can’t see what the file path looks like, but I am assuming it has a sheet name in it. That will have to be cleared out (a Formula is usually best) for it to work. Try that and see if it works!
