Error Outputting multiple files using Batch Macro

GayatriPanigrahi

Hi All,

I am using attached batch macro to generate multiple output sheets in single excel file.

This was working fine for couple of days but now i am facing issue as "Unable to make final write <File path> Error in use by another process", is there a way to delay each iteration ?

I am using Alteryx version 2019 and can not use other addon like crew macro at present.

@Qiu Instead of entire path i am using option of Change File/Table Name. Because i need to overwrite sheets.

Hi @GayatriPanigrahi 

 

Now i got a better as expected your schema will be different.

 

Use this at beginning in the macro to give gap between runs.

Ideally, you should not be facing this issue. You can also drop a mail to support@alteryx.com and ask them to check on this issue.

 

Hope this helps : )
