Output - Different tabs - Same file

Hi All,

 

I have been struggling to achieve this output in many ways using render tool, but output doesn't come out well.

 

Please kindly assist me in achieving this, refer the attached workflow.

@Sarath27 In this method you cannot use block until done because the Excel is splitting based on the tab names. Can you share a sample file with the issues and expected output?

@Sarath27 -- building off of @binuacs previous workflow, do you mean something like this.  This how I do it to avoid dealing with extra columns, etc.  The CountRecords basically resets the data and you drop the count in the append tool so it's like it never happened.  :)

You can create a more or less endless loop and make hundreds of sheets this way if you wanted to.  Block Until Done with Count Records/Append is my favorite way to deal with multiplesheet Excel outputs.  The Count Records drops all other columns so there is no need to reconfigure anything with a select, just de-select the Count field in the Append Tool and the second data set will pass through uninterrupted.
