Excel formatting thru Alteryx

John_Abraham
6 - Meteoroid

Hello, I am creating an Excel spreadsheet thru my workflow, and it works just fine. The plan is to send the spreadsheet as an email attachment to management, but will need some formatting like below to be done before sending it out. Can these be done thru Alteryx, without using a template spreadsheet ??

 

Formatting expectations

  1. Header Row
    1. Freeze
    2. Filter on
    3. Set a background color
  2. Set Font and size
  3. Auto Column Width adjustment (set width and/or based on data)

Thanks in advance
