Dynamic Naming of PDF Files produced by Render

[iJazper306]

Hello,

Is there a way to dynamically name PDF file(s) produced by Render based on a static cell of data within Alteryx workflow?

e.g.

Cell A2 = "Filename.pdf"

Render of this report should be named after cell A2

Note: I am also using a table tool preceding Render.

Hi @iJazper306,

This post should help you:

There is also workflow attached to it so it will make your life easier!

That solved it. Thank you!

I already had a column with the designated filename (dynamic value based on a static cell) so all i really had to do was:

1) Update my Table tool to group by FileName field

2) Update Output File path in Render to .\.pdf (will saved as PDF in same directory as workflow)

3) Check "Group Data" box in Render and set field to FileName + replacing Filename with Group

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Hello all,

i am trying to set up the same thing here but am not following. I dont really understand what I am supposed to put in Output file. I am trying to save an excel file and dynamically change the name based on date and customer (which i have coded in a formula tool before this named 'file path')
