Report Render tool creating two files

[RCern]

I have a workflow that is saving data as an .xlsx file and adding today's date to the file name.  I am using the Report Render tool and believe I have it setup correctly but when I run the workflow and it saves the file, it creates two versions of the file.  One without the date in the file name and one with.   How do I configure the tool so that just the file with the date in the name is saved?  (I am using this workflow as a test because my other workflow I am building is color coding fields which is why I am using the Render tool and not just an Output tool)

It is running as expected on my side - only one file is created. Are you sure it is not a holdover from a previous run? Can you check the time stamp after you run it to see if they are both output at the same time?

@alexnajm Thanks!  I ran it again and just the file with the date produces, then 10-15sec later, the file without the date produces.

Do you have a record without a date?

[RCern]

No both records get assigned a date with the formula tool.

Very interesting - what version are you on? I ran it on 2024.1 and it worked just fine as is

@Raj @alexnajm I am running 2022.3.1.532

Can you try a different folder to write to? I don't know why it would be different on ours than yours to be honest, maybe it's a specific bug to 2022.3?
