Output to a specific range in Excel

I have following data in Alteryx

 

dataAmount
A10
A20
A50
B10
B40

 

Expected Output : is to create 2 files with name A and B ( Each file should has two sources in the same sheet)

Files names should be created based on data columns 

 

I have tried only this solution with block until done : https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Output-to-a-specific-range-in-...

 

Expected out files has been attached

@BRRLL99 take a look at the attached workflow, it should help and let me know how you get on

Here's a workflow that does what I think you're getting at. Creates the total, adds the datetime and writes the total and the individual rows to each file.

You'll need to update your base filepath (with a \ at the end) in the second text input tool.

Without seeing what you tried, I suspect you were getting tripped up on the filepath string construction as it is super picky.

@ScottLewis  Thank you

 

Tried different approach, able to get expected result.

 

is there any special reason you used block until done at the last for each output tool??

Both outputs are writing to all files, one output writes the summarized ranges, the other writes the data ranges. 

Block until done insures that they aren't both trying to get into the same file at the same time.
