Hi @videet 

 

First thing is default(only) operation of Render tool is overwrite file. Hence you need to render and than output other tabs later.

 

Hope this helps 🙂

@atcodedog05 ,

So there is no option to output data using render tool with new tab in existing workbook

Am i right?

First we need to render the progress further

Hi @videet 

 

Yes, thats right there is no option to output data using render tool with new tab in existing workbook because render always overwrites file. And Yes, we need to render first then progress further.

 

Apparently its the limitation and way to go 😶

Hi @videet 

 

I am guessing this macro will help you. Which processes one after other.

Have you struggled with taking your Alteryx data from point A to point B and hoped that point B would happen before point C? The CReW Labelled block until done tool ensures that all of stream #1 happens before #2. It's CReW magic! http://www.chaosreignswithin.com Cheers, Mark
