Hi

 

Here are two sample alteryx outputs for Monday and Friday

 

Alteryx Output for 4th September 2020 - 

DATEITEM IDCOLOUR
2020-09-0468Red
2020-09-0456Red
2020-09-0498Red
2020-09-0432Red
2020-09-0445Blue

 

Alteryx Output for 7th September 2020

DATEITEM IDCOLOUR
2020-09-07687Red
2020-09-07562Red
2020-09-07984Blue
2020-09-07321Blue
2020-09-07456Red

 

The Alteryx Workflow/Output runs from Monday to Friday.

How do I create a log file with different Sheets (Red and Blue) which only takes in counts of Reds and Blues on a Friday run Alteryx Output and not Monday to Thursday Alteryx Outputs as shown in below sample :

 

Log File.xlsx  - Sheet Name  - 'Red'

DATERED COUNT
2020-08-143
2020-08-211
2020-08-282
2020-09-044

 

Log File.xlsx - Sheet NAme - 'Blue'

DATEBLUE COUNT
2020-08-142
2020-08-214
2020-08-282
2020-09-04

1

 

Also once the year in the Alteryx Output changes to 2021/2022/etc - the log file should delete all the previous rows/records and start with a fresh row as such

 

Log File.xlsx  - Sheet Name  - 'Red'

DATERED COUNT
2021-01-013

Log File.xlsx  - Sheet Name  - 'Blue'

DATEBLUE COUNT
2021-01-012

Here are my configurations for flag=1 filter

Here are my configurations for isnull(Date) filter - I can't see any option like yours to Overwrite sheet or range - only theres Overwrite Sheet (Drop) and Overwrite Sheet (Remove).. Which one should I select?
