Output multiple files to different excel tabs

Hi! Is there a reasonable way to export mutliple Alteryx outputs into the same excel file under different tabs? I found this explanation (http://community.alteryx.com/Data-Blending/In-Out/Output-different-files-to-multiple-tabs-in-an-Exce...) but it doesn't work for me (Plus even if it did I really don't like the "table" function because I loose all my decimal points and have to go in one by one to my 60 fields and change it to include multiple decimal points). Any thoughts?

You could use multiple output tools and specify the same file and location in each tool, then query the sheet name for each individual tool.  

 

Ex: 

\Desktop\book1.xlsx|||first_sheet

\Desktop\book1.xlsx|||second_sheet

\Desktop\book1.xlsx|||third_sheet

...

I want to do this in an app i'm building. How do I prevent Alteryx from providing the first single tab output from generating? I only want the workflow to spit out the excel workbook that has the tabs combined into the same workbook.

@ssink do you have one output per tab, or multiple tables per tab?

Hey @MikeN When I run your workflow it works fine. However when I run the attached workflow and try to open up the excel spreadsheet I get the following error message.

Any idea on why this might be?

Hi @MikeN 

Could you please share your thoughts why this solution does not work when 'Output Options' change from 'Overwrite Sheet or Range' to 'Overwrite file (Remove)'?

I think I used such configuration once and it worked for me, but now when I try this it gives me only one tab as an output (the third one).

Thanks

I uploaded an excel file into Alteryx with a few different sheets and wanted to export each specified sheet into one report or separate reports. But I was not able to do that. The window showed up below. Once I pressed OK, it did not save anywhere. I need help on finding the final report(s). TIA!
