Hey @ILANGO_S,

There's a few ways of doing this. One way is to specify the sheet in the output like this:

I tried the above workflow but the formattimg is lost. I require a workflow which copies the sheet to uoutput instead of rebuilding the formatting because the file which I shared has few formatting but the original file has many formatting.

Sorry, I missed the table formatting. From reading this post Excel formatting - Alteryx Community I believe the only way to natively apply formatting in Alteryx is through the rendering tool. However I haven't been able to render to two separate sheets using this tool.

Two other options available is to use a macro in excel to auto apply the formatting or use the Alteryx python tool using the xlsxpandasformatter library shown here: Applying formatting to multiple Excel sheets using Python and XLSXWriter - Stack Overflow
