Multiple Tabs in Excel

I have a multiple output data(more than 10) and I want to save all the data in a single excel file.

I am using folder browse so that the user can select their desire output after that I am using action tool that will update the output with formula but i am facing an error and i.e. sometimes it is saying that access denied and sometimes it is saying that file is being used by different process.

Therefore I have used block until done but still I am facing the same error and I am unable to save my output to multiple tabs in single excel files.


Some solutions will be a great help.

 

i have attached a sample data and sample workflow for your reference.

 

I am stuck at this point so please help me out.

How large is the actual data?

 

Our mini size data is no problem.

 

You say the destination is a local disk, but the folder is not synced with DropBox or other online storage, is it?

My actual data is very large,

The output is produced in excel format in say more than 1000 in one tab...

 

But in future I want to take the input from network devices and save the output excel file with multiple tabs on a network storage.

 

So what should I do to achieve without any error.

I haven't heard of many problems with input, so I think it's a no problem.

 

But I often have problems when outputting to an Excel file to a network drive or a folder that syncs with online storage.

There is a way to save the output to a "complete" local folder and then use the Command Line tool to create a batch file and copy it.

 

Please refer this post.

Although it is "Move Files" that is being mentioned in this post. You can do the same way with Copy.
