Hi Team, I have a workflow in which I am trying to extract around 3500 files in .csv format. I am receiving below error:

 

Error: Output Data (14): Error creating the file " C:\Users\mmustkee\Downloads\Raw GPID\Workflow\Airhelp_0013_Jan 2021_to_Jul 2024.csv||| ": The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (123)

 

Could you please help me. Please refer output tool configuration:

CSV's dont have sheets. Remove the ||| and sheet from the file path.

You are using a macro/or other process which was designed for excel. you will need to make minor changes to it to accomodate csv - they include dropping the `|||sheetname` additions (or `<List of Sheet Names>` and `|||sheetname` - as wel as confiriming your fileformat is set for csv - not excel.
