Output an Excel file that was used as Input within the same workflow

I have an Excel file where records are being added/dropped each week. I'm creating a workflow that will pull in the Excel file and add/drop records. I want to export the resulting updated data back to the same Excel file.

 

Currently I'm getting the error "Unable to open file for write: ..."

Hey @wottel! Try putting a Block Until Done tool before the output.
