Building a batch macro for outputting to excel template for defined ranges

Happylife2025

I have an workflow which is wring to an excel template by selecting records and then using control container to output to specific or defined ranges in that excel template. I want to do this process by building a batch macro. For example, my data has records from 1-50. I am using select records tool to select records 1-5 and then  outputting to the excel template from A1-E5, then again select records from 6-10 and then outputting to the excel template from A10-E14 and so on. Is it possible to do this process by a batch macro? Need help to build the macro as I have never built a macro in Alteryx though I have gone thru the batch macro video. below is the screenshot of my workflow.

you don’t need a macro for this, create a new column with range where each row should go to. In your case, add formula tool, check for record ID and assign the range.
use a single output tool and using this range as field append this range to the output.

Checkout the attached workflow, if this is not possible in your case, let us know we can workout a macro then.
