Output to Excel with Join L & J in different output tabs

tom05

I am running a reconciliation process and need to out put the data which has matched in the Join tool (J) and the data which has not matched in the Join tool (L). Is there a way to output this into the same Excel workbook but in different sheet?

 

To visualise this, attached is the join tool to two outputs. I would want the output to be the same Excel file but with the data across two tabs.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @tom05,

 

You would need to create a filepath (with sheet name) in a formula tool after the L and J anchors and use this as the file name to write out to.

Hi @tom05 

 

You should be able to get it with what you are doing by mentioning different sheets in the output.

Hi @tom05 

 

I think a error like this. Which is file lock issue happens due to simultaneous file writing.

Can be fixed by using Block Until Done tool.
