Render Multiple Excel Sheets with different sizes

I need to output multiple tabs into one excel sheet file. One tab has many columns so that I need to use custom size on the Render tool. Other few tabs have only a few columns. Then, for the tabs that only have only few columns, the width of their columns looks extremely wide/weird.

 

By browsing at many posts that have similar issues as mine in alteryx's community, one of them said "the render tool renders every tab to a page size which is specified in the render tool at the bottom. So it will make all tabs the same width, like pages of a report"  it's said that we can try to get around it by adding column to it? I am not sure how to do it.

 

I tried to play around with the custom side in Render tool. But still, it doesn't work well on me.

 

Can someone please give me some help/guidance on this? Thank you so much in advance!!

 

I attached a draft version below to show the problem I am experiencing now.

I played with the settings a little, so look at the attached.  I set the layout to be landscape and legal, instead of custom.  I also changed formatting to be automatic, so it appears to do what I think you are trying to accomplish.

@jiawenmai Alternatively you can use Block Until done tool to write to same excel:

Thanks for responding! If we have more columns on the excel's tab that exceed the size of "landscape and legal", is there any alternative way to accomplish it?

By using block until done, we will lost all the formatting tho.
