Issue with my output file

Nargess
7 - Meteor

Hi,

Hope someone can help me with the end part of my report.

Attached please find my  workflow. I put ' Report run date' in a formula to add date into my output name, but basically there is column in my output excel file with that. How can I delete that column from my Excel but still have date as the name of my file?

Many thanks

Hi! Just modify your Formula tool by combining Report Run Date and Filename field to something like this

'Performance Dashboard - ' 
+ DateTimeFormat(datetimetoday(),"%Y_%m_%d") 
+ ".xlsx|||GP Perf"

This way you don't have that extra Report Run Date column in your output. Alternatively you could put a Select tool after the formula tool and uncheck Report Run Date column.
