Hello All,

 

I have an output tool which produce excel output with an existing formatting. The workflow run creating excel output but the format changed. The Output tool gives some error with regards to range of data.

 

Only have to work in the path or the output tool to get the original excel output. Unfortunately I'm unable to provide the source file/ workflow.

@RE5260 , This is because the data overflows the range you have provided in your output tool. Kindly increase the range values and then try again.

Hi @RE5260 

 

Kindly change the file output to some other formats such ".csv" or ".yxdb" where possible

 

Please find the default .CSV format.

Each columns are separated by delimiters.

Here as default ',' is the delimiter used.

Hi @RE5260 

 

To save in excel format with the exceeding rows be saved in the next sheet.

 

Option 1: Use the Record ID tool.

This will create unique record for every row.

 

Then Split your data's based on the record id where record ID < 1000000

 

Where filter will have T and F node

T will contain record ID < 1000000

F will contain record ID > 1000000

 

Output into excel sheet from both T and F node separately

 

Option 2: Use the Record ID tool.

This will create unique record for every row.

 

Use a formula to create groups of 1 million per group (Use tile tool)

 

Output to your excel file just adjust the tool to create new tabs based on this grouping.
