Exporting one specific worksheet from a workbook to a new workbook?

I have a workbook with 5 worksheets (all have different schema) and i want to pick only one  specific worksheet out of 5 and export it to a new workbook with all formatting. How can we do this in Alteryx. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You can input the file and select List of Sheet Names + ensure your full file path is turned on, then from there, you'll need to filter the sheet of your choice and import with either the Dynamic Input or a Batch Macro (read here: https://knowledge.alteryx.com/index/s/article/The-Ultimate-Input-Data-Flowchart-1583459854309).

 

From there, you can export that specific sheet to the file of your choice and choose the output option to create a new sheet. 

 

To preserve the formatting from one file to another however... I think you may need to use Blob In/Out, not too familiar as I've not tried to do this before. Will be interesting to see the solutions for this for sure.

Thanks for the reply. By using Dynamic input tool i am able to import the data of specific worksheet.

Although when i tried to export the file using Blob IN/Out tool it replicates the whole workbook (all worksheets) not the required worksheet only.
