Dear Community ,

 

I have this issue while trying to generate , output tool data and render tool output in same file . 

 

Whenever i generate the output , two sheets are generated : 

 

1. Render tool output : All ok 

2. Output tool : Empty .

OMG, 2019.4 makes it more impossible.

I am thinking  to use preserve the formatting option but that is not available in 2019.4😐

How about this workflow?

I output Sheet1 and Sheet2 by the Render Tool(Sheet2 is dummy)  and then overwrite Sheet2 by the Output Tool. It's working fine for me.

 

The procedure is below.

 

I output sheet1 and sheet2 by Render tool. Render tool output always "sheet1", but copy the record by Generate row as "Sheetname" Field.

And I add Layout tool and set "Vertical with Section Breaks" to Orientation.
