New excel tab as first / Tab order in the Excel file

Mateusz_Pietrzak

Hi All,

 

I have a workflow which as an output is adding new tab to the existing excel file. I was asked to setup a tool in order to create a new tab as a first in the Excel file.
Could you please let me know if this is possible to set up in Alteryx? 

 

Based on my knowledge I think it is not possible within Alteryx. And if I am right, do you have any idea how it could be done? Should I create some kind of scrypt or VBA macro? 

 

Thank you in advance.

@Mateusz_Pietrzak 
If you are ok with bring the content of existing excel file and output together with your content, below should work.

Hi @Mateusz_Pietrzak ,

 

Did you test it with Block until done tool ?

 

It can allow you to edit the order in which you want your excel file outputs to be done depending on how you link the outputs to anchors 1,2 and 3.
