Render Tool with Error "Not Supported Format"

Hi

 

I have four containers and each container contains formula tool that dictates the sheet name for its output which is an excel file.

 

For the first three created sheet names merge well in an excel file. All three was made with Output Data Tool.

However when I created the fourth one which involves a render tool. It gives an error of not supported format. I remove the sheet name in the formula tool and it went through without error however, the other 3 tabs or sheet names are missing.

Please help and assist me on how I can merge the 4 tabs or sheet names in one excel file.

 

Looking forward for your expertise.

 

Thank,

Kamen

I'm tagging @DataNath for this as well.

 

To my knowledge, if you want to fix the width, have you tried using automatic instead? 

 

Do you mind exporting that workflow so we can play with it, @KamenRider ?

The workaround is you use an output data on the sheets which don't fit the render size AFTER you create them in render. The output data is set to overwrite sheet.

Hi @apathetichell 

 

Thanks for the link you have provided. This is the result I am looking for where there is a combination of formatted and unformatted data in one excel file. However, the sample you have provided consists of only 2 tabs. What if I have more than 3 tabs/sheets? How can connect each using Block Until Done icon with only 3 connectors? Any snapshots or samples will be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Kamen
