Building an App with a blank Excel File

[neromerob]

Hello.

In looking for a way to create an app from a workflow that is already working, the problem is that I don´t know where to look information about it.

I build an Excel template with the format that I need, so when the process is done it fills the File with information.

Example. (File name: Output)

The App should do the following.

When click there a frame like this must be shown, one that requires the user just to say “continue” (not introducing data such as Date or other kind of variables)

The information must go to a certain folder and the Excel (with the info) must be copied with the Month and year.

Example.

Thank You.

Hi @neromerob ,

So to wrap this up, what you want your app to do is read the Excel file in the template folder that looks like the following screenshot

populate it with data as shown in the after screenshot and then save it in a different location in the specified directory naming the file as Filename-Month Year? In this example that directory should be one folder up from the template sub-folder?

Hello @AngelosPachis 

I accept your question as a solution, my bad.

Yes that Exactly what I need to do, don´t know if is even doable, I have been using Alteryx just for 3 months.

In this example that directory should be one folder up from the template sub-folder?

Yes, I decided to put that folder there and not Elsewhere. 

Thank you
