Output Data into Excel sheet/ retaining Excel Pivot tables and Graphs

Arkouda

Hi All

 

I'm running into an issue where my output file saves into a Excel sheet and I want to retain the Excel Pivot Table and Graphs. Everytime I run the command with new data it removes the pivot tables and I have to rebuild news ones

 

Is there a way where it just updates the sheet in the workbook and does not impact the pivot tables/graphs besides copying and pasting the data into another sheet - this is the error I get and removes the pivot table in the file when I execute the command. 

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Hi @Arkouda,

 

I have just tested it and it seems like it's working if the Pivot-Table and Diagram is on another sheet and just referencing the original sheet. I still get a message but the pivot and graphs update just fine and aren't removed.

 

I have build a minimal workflow and two Excel files to test this.

I'll attach everything for you including the Excel files and you can see how it works. I think the key is to choose the option "Overwrite Sheet or Range" in the output and dropping and recreating the sheet.

Everything attached. Let me know what you think.
