Render Tool to send to SharePoint Online

Hi, I have a .xlsx report file that outputs to my PC from a Render tool. Does anyone know how I would get that file to SharePoint Online? From what I can tell there is no option in the Render tool to output to SharePoint Online. I need the "Rendered" file to retain all the formatting, company logo, etc. when it outputs to SharePoint online. Thank you for your help on this one, I'm stumped Lol..

 

Regards,

Brad

hi @MBBURT 

Output to (or input from) Sharepoint Online requires SharePoint Input/Output tools. 

https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/connectors/sharepoint-output-tool.html#sharepoint...

 

However, even if using SharePoint Output tools, it just outputs data to yxdb/csv/xlsx and 'Rendered' files are not supported.

 

As a workaround, the below steps are straight forward as of today, you might have tried though:

1) Synchronize SharepointOnline folder with your local PC, and allocate network drive mapping path

2) Specify the path in the above 1) in Render tool

Thanks Gawa for this, I tried to map a network drive to the Sharepoint Online site but I do not have permissions. The browser is managed by my organization so I'm not able to Manage Permissions and add a Trusted Site. A nice enhancement from Alteryx would be to allow the Render tool to output .xlsx or .xlsb to SharePoint Online.  

 

Regards,

Brad
