How to output an excel file from an alteryx workflow to a sharepoint

[avilla34]

I would like to output data in excel format to a sharepoint location. When I add the 'output data' tool to the canvas and paste the link to the sharepoint in the output data configuration, an error stating that it cannot access the folder is automated. 

How can this issue be resolved? Or what is the simplest way to output the data as an excel file to a sharepoint?

Hey @avilla34 ,

You have two options:

1. Use the sharepoint output tool
   1. You need admin permissions to install this tool
   2. Special permissions needed from sharepoint

2. You can use a workaround where you map your sharepoint to a one drive folder
   1. You will be able to use the output tool
