Output Tool

How do i use the output tool to create a new file everday in a saved location everyday?

 

Also, Is it better to save down the info as an excel file or an alteryx file if i will use it as an alteryx input later in my canvas?

 


ex: i have 7 columns of data and want that same data format from the original input to be saved down in the output file.

 

I will then use that output file as a reference file daily later in my canvas.

@Dittau One suggestion would be to save your daily file with the current date, and if you want to refer to this file later stage you can access them by giving the name and corresponding date. Attaching a sample workflow for your reference, this workflow creates the output file with the current date.
