Hey @Kinetic_analytics, when you build the name in your Formula tool, just add the drive location as well as part of it, like so:

Then, in your Output Data tool, select any location/filename you like (doesn't matter as it'll all be replaced by the field you made), and then configure the options in the bottom left in the same way as below - Alteryx will then replace the save location and the file/sheet name etc with what you have constructed in the Formula tool:
