Hi All,

I have a column below with just 1 dates for all rows.

Id like to grab the date and use it as filename.

Please help me with this, thank you.

Choose the "Replace FileName with group" option

Click the field to group on drop down also.. are there any columns that appear there? 

You can use a join tool right (joining the column with file name) towards the end in order to have a field with file name to choose from.

Thanks, it worked. Now i am sending the file in an email.

How am I able to pickup the file in the email tool if the name changes based on date?

Hi Felipe,

In my Render table, I'm referencing an excel output file that has data in it.  When I run the script, my file get's renamed correctly but my data gets replaced by the data in the render table.  How do I keep the data from my original excel output file?

Thanks,

Steve
