How to Export a file using a field as the naming convention

Question

Hi Alteryx Team!

I want to to be able to Output a .xlsx file and use the naming convention from a field in the data.

In my attached workflow i have a simple input with a field called [FILENAME]. I want to be able to output the file as [FILENAME].xlsx

So basically whatever is populated in FILENAME is the name of the file.

I can't seem to get it to work using the attached workflow. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

HI @jdelaguila

I updated your workflow to consider the filename column as the correct file name. I used the formula tool to create the file path.

This is my preferred method to use data info as the name of the file for when outputting to a xlsx.

If you were trying to output to a CSV, the set up you were using was the correct one, would just need to change the file extension.
