Hi All

 

I have a problem to create one excel fiel with three sheets. Currently, I do the following

 

Creation of three Excel workbooks via formula and the following name definition:

 

1) German Austrian Distribution\Output Verification Reports\"

+DateTimeToday() + " Pay Date " + [First_Pay Date]+" Germany Scope and Summary.xlsx||Scope Check summary"

 

2)German Austrian Distribution\Output Verification Reports\"

+DateTimeToday() + " Pay Date " + [Pay Date]+" Germany Details.xlsx|Details"

 

3)German Austrian Distribution\Output Verification Reports\"

+DateTimeToday() + " Pay Date " + [Pay Date ] +" Germany ERROR REPORT TO CHECK.xlsx|Error CHECK"

 

Finally threee excel wokrbook wil be created, with specific named sheet. But I would like to receive one workbook with three sheet instead of:

 

German Austrian Distribution\Output Verification Reports\"

+DateTimeToday() + " Pay Date " + [Pay Date ] +" Germany Summary.xlsx with the sheets 1) Scope check summary 2) Details 3)Error CHECK

 

The Block Until Done is not working, as the Information are prepared via different steams....

 

How the output file must be configured to ensure this?

 

Thanks a lot....

Hi @horth007 

 

Use the below just before the output tools.

Configure the output tools as:

For:

\\euro\dfs$\Digitalization\Alteryx Tools\German Austrian Distribution\Output Verification File\2022-05-18 Pay Date 2022-05-16 Germany Summary.xlsx|||Scope and Summary

"\\euro\dfs$\Digitalization\Alteryx Tools\German Austrian Distribution\Output Verification File\"
 
+DateTimeToday() + " Pay Date " + [First_Pay Date]+" Germany Summary.xlsx"
 
+"|||Scope and Summary"

 

For:

\\euro\dfs$\Digitalization\Alteryx Tools\German Austrian Distribution\Output Verification File\2022-05-18 Pay Date 2022-05-16 Germany Summary.xlsx|||Details

"\\euro\dfs$\Digitalization\Alteryx Tools\German Austrian Distribution\Output Verification File\"
 
+DateTimeToday() + " Pay Date " + [Pay Date]+" Germany Summary.xlsx"

Hello @HomesickSurfer Unfortunately, not working and only one sheet will be written in the file.

 

But I also do not have the option, "Overwrite sheet or range", as I am still on Alteryx version 2019.4.8.22007. Not sure if this could be source of the problem?

 

However, when the output folder is empty, I can use output option "Create New Sheet". Then on workbook will several sheets will be prepared.

 

The only downsize, I cannot re-run on the same date without error (or deleting the fiels from the output folder) and these bak files will be prepared in addition:

 

2022-05-18 Pay Date 2022-05-16 Germany Summary.xlsx.bak

2022-05-18 Pay Date 2022-05-16 Austria Summary.xlsx.bak

 

Not sure if there is any possibility to solve this?
