Copy a Excel workshoot from one file to another

[Musuke]

Hello everybody,

I am working with the Alteryx Designer for a while now and I am facing the problem, that I need to add a prepared worksheet to a big number of existing excel-files.

So my question is:

Does anybody have a workflow which copys a filled and formated worksheet from excel-file A to excel-file B?

Thank you in advance and best regards

Hi @Musuke 

You can easily the data from a sheet within an Excel file and output that sheet to other files with Alteryx, but the sheet would not be formatted in any way. 

The reporting tools have the capabilities to take your data, format it, and output to an Excel file and specific sheet, but the Render tool overwrites the entire file when ran. So this option would not work for you either. 

The only way to copy a sheet between workbooks, and retain formatting, would be to do it programmatically. You could use a VBA macro, Command Prompt, Python, etc.
