@kauser I am not sure I understand the issue - shouldn't it just be Input Data to whatever transformation steps you need to do to an Output Data tool?

Expected output within same file and Same sheet - 

you can i have added few new data highlighted in Green. my question is how can i add those new data into input file then save it as an output file. so the recipient can see both input data and output data within same Sheet.

So you can do this - input your data, do your transformations to get the second part, join the together (likely on record position), and output to the file of your choice!

 

Or if its to the exact same file as the input, you can create the new data and output it to a specific range in the same sheet
