How to get data just filled in the table already existing in the input file.

Can you explain a bit further your situation?

If I'm understanding your question, you want the output to be put over an existing table in a spreadsheet?

 

If you set up the connection in the Output tool to the existing document, image 1 shows the options you should select. 

 

Where the image says to select range, you need to set the output file name as follows:

.\Output.xlsx|||Sheet1$A1:B2

 

  • .\                Output folder location
  • Output       File name
  • .xlsx           Extension
  • |||Sheet1    Sheet name
  • $A1:B2      Output range - this will be where the existing table with required formatting exists. This can be any range required, in this case, cells A1:B2.

 

Hope this helps!
