Rendering over a Blob Output

Question

Hello

I have some data which I'm bringing into Alteryx and want to disaggregate in the following way:

1) a summary of the data needs to be written to three sheets in the output. The summary metrics are fixed, and therefore, a template is used using the blob input / blob output.

2) the raw data itself, is too dynamic to use in a blob, but I still want to apply formatting to this data using the table tools and then render this out into two additional sheets. Using an output tool to append to the blob output is not an option.

Is there a way that I can write an output using the blob configuration and then render over it? or vice versa?

Many thanks

No.

Blob output will write over any file. Render will write over any file. You can output data keeping the source formatting to a blob. If you render to a blob you will delete the original blob.
