Hi @jaemilao ,

we're going to need more information. Can you please provide your workflow and give us some information as to what you're trying to output. Are you trying to create Excel files? Multiple files? Multiple tabs?

 

Thanks,

 

M.

Hi @jaemilao  - are you able to share a bit more info on your workflow? 

I think this article might help though as it's about using data in your workflow to populate an output, in the output tool at the bottom of the configuration you should be able to set it up like this:

see the workflow below

 

We are trying to create an excel file with 2 tab based on the filtering.

 

We are current on the first tab, and trying to check the output file if it will be created successfully. 

We did try to check the results under select tab and we are not seeing any issues too

Hi @jaemilao  - sorry for the delay, I think you should select the "File date" column to append rather than the full path - does that work any better for you?
