Hi @SH_94 ,

 

After your table tool, you have a formula tool that you want to give you the sheet name. That formula tool has to create a new column, but currently you have set it to replace the Table column, which used to contain your table reporting snippet.

 

Hence, the render tool cannot find any reporting snippet to render. If you change the column name in the formula tool, then you will be able to see that table reporting snippet again and the error will go away.

 

Hope that helps,

Hi @AngelosPachis ,

 

Thank you for the great information.

 

May i know what should i change on the formula tools? Could you show screenshot or workflow on how to fix this?

@SH_94  so in your formula tool, you should change the header to something different than Table. I understand that now if you click your formula tool, right above the expression the name says Table, but you can change this to anything else to create a new column in your data

Then to make the render tool work for you, try following this thread here

Let me know if you have any questions, hope that helps.
