Overwrite a csv file

credlinr

Hi all,

 

I am in need of overwriting a csv file about once a month which then gets picked up by power BI for a dashboard.

Is there a way to overwrite the csv file and keep the name of the csv the same? Can't do an excel file as there are millions of rows.

@credlinr,

 

If you keep the same name on the output tool and run the workflow it will overwrite the file automatically.

 

Hope this helps,

Regards

Hi @credlinr,

 

when outputing a csv file with the regular output tool, it will overwrite the file without setting up anything special.
