Changing the name of an existing excel file through alteryx

[vj28]

Through Alteryx I want to change the name of an existing excel file, by appending a certain value (that i calculated with alteryx) to the file's name.

For example there's a file called   "sample.xlsm"   ; I run the workflow that calculates the value to be appended to the name of the file (say it is 03122025) so that file needs to have it's name changed to   "sample 03122025.xlsm"  .

Note : the file has multiple sheets and formulas in it. 

Any solutions welcome, thanks in advance!

This should be possible - have you looked at the Blob tools? https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Change-File-Name/td-p/1178406

if it doesn’t work, then run command should do the trick as mentioned in the same post
