Rajeev18

Hello ,

If there is different input file and want all file into one workbook with different tab, how to achieve the result.

E.g. - Input- File 1,  Input- File 2, Input- File 3 --  Output file  - workbook file with different sheets in it -File 1, File 2 & File 3.

Hi @Rajeev18,

 

You'd need to union all input files together, create the name of the tab with a formula tool and in the output tool select the checkbox "take file / table name from field". I'll put together an example for you.

 

If this solves your issue please mark the answer as correct, if not let me know!

Hi @Rajeev18,

 

I have attached a workflow that has 3 inputs going to 1 output with 3 sheets in.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @Rajeev18,

 

The example @DanielMS has posted is perfect, the main points to take into consideration is:

 

On the input ensure (5) Output file name as field uses "file name only"

Ensure the yellow areas have been amended

If this solves your issue please mark the answer as correct, if not let me know!

Output File requires data from the File A,B & C under different sheet - one Output Workbook  sheet named - File 1, File 2 & File 3.

Hello @fmvizcaino 

Could you please help me with one more query.

I need output file with multiple sheets and color formatted data based on certain condition. 

Input file 1(Raw Data): From this file I want output file (sheet named as submitted ) with data which should includes data of 1st level Approval status of submitted one and 2nd level Approval status of submitted and completed . Means submitted output file should not include any data of rejected, WIP, In issue, Not Sent. 

Similarly From same Input File 1(Raw Data) :-  one more output file (sheet names as Accepted) with data which should includes data of 1st level Approval status of Accepted and completed one and 2nd level Approval status of Accepted and completed.

Output file 1 ( Sheet named Submitted ) will looks like this:

Input File 2(New York): - This Input File should come exactly in same format in same output file named as New York with combination of few color formatting .
Like for status - "In transmit ' -  Yellow Colour,   "Accepted"  - Green Colour, "Rejected", "In Issue" and "May get Rejected"  - Red Color in both the approval Column.

Output File (New York) - should have this color combination: in same excel workbook under sheet named- New York

Rajeev18_1-1576520736898.png

 

 

Similarly for Input file 3 ( California) & Input File 4 ( San Francisco) - Output file should have same colour combination ( as was done for New York) in the same workbook under sheet name - California & San Francisco .

In addition to that out of the Rejected one from New York , California & San Francisco data , latest rejected data (latest should count should based on current date and Current minus 1 day) i.e. for Today's date (12/13/19) Reject for 12/13/2019 and 12/12/2019 should come into one another sheet name -Rejected status in the same workbook.

Another requirement is that "In Transmit" product status from New York , California & San Francisco data should eliminated from submitted sheet(i.e.which was already extracted as output data sheet name - Submitted). Means submitted sheet should not contain "In transmit"  producdata .


Hope I am able to make you understand what exactly I am looking for, I have attached all the file for reference .


Thank you in advance!

Rajeev
