@AbdullahMansour90,

 

You have a proble with the output 78 not 32 Output Data (78).

Please make sure that the file is not open while you're running Alteryx.

 

Could you share the sample workflow in order to help 🙂

Thanks @messi007 Yes but from what i understand that error cause is that the file i am trying to write output to is used by process (32), is it? 

 

I cant' share the WF itself as it isn't a sample data, but please find a screenshot of it.
