I have a workflow with multiple inputs that generates an output with several tabs based on a join function.
For example, if there is data in either the left, right, or join, it will create a tab in the output file. However, if there is no data, a tab will not be created.
There is an issue where, when there is data flowing from both the left and right join functions, it creates a new tab.
When I go back to the input data to correct it so that all rows are joined, the output still contains the Excel tabs from the previous run (left and right). I expected to see only one tab containing all the joined rows.
Conversely, when the output contains one tab for all the joined rows and I go back and update a row in the input file incorrectly, I expect to see multiple tabs for the join function but only see one tab for the matched rows.
Is there a way to overwrite the tabs or file with each run?
I have tried setting the Output Option to Overwrite File, but it does not create the new tabs. When I select the option to Overwrite Sheet or Range, it preserves the data from the previous run.

One way to handle it is to remove the output file form that folder. The thing is that Alteryx will continue to overwrite the tabs in there will be data, if there will not be data then the older tabs will be there.
