Creating Excel Files with Specific Formatting from Another Excel File

A1exW

Hi all, I'm looking to create separate reports for different user IDs while maintaining consistent formatting across all generated files.

 

For example, I have user IDs 001-003 and would like to generate report-001.xlsx, report-002.xlsx, and report-003.xlsx, each containing data for the respective user ID. These generated reports should maintain the same formatting (font, color, fill, underline, bold, etc.) as a template file, let's call it report_format.xlsx.

 

I know Alteryx has an option to preserve formatting on overwrite, but it will requires copying the report_format.xlsx to output path and rename one by one to report-{user ID}.xlsx. Is it possible to generate multiple Excel files based on a specific format from another Excel file?

 

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions. Thank you in advance for your help!

@A1exW 
you can achieve this using blob tools.
using the template you can create a file for each record with all the records and then write data into it.
Hope this helps.
