Hello Alteryx Community,
I have following dataset (the set could have N rows) which I should get outputted to Excel files, for which I have a pre-assigned template. I also need to get each department for their individual Excel file with pre-assigned with sheet for each team. So the outcome here would be two Excel files (HR and Marketing) with pre-assigned template and sheet for each team ( In HR file, there would be two sheets, in Marketing file one sheet and so on). Is this kind of trick possible with Excel output?
Thank's a lot in advance for answers!
@AlteryxPrime666 This can be done in Alteryx.
1. For creating separate excel output file you need to create a path variable using a formula tool
2. To write into the pre-formatted template , check out the "Preserve formatting on overwriting options" in the output tool
Attaching a sample workflow for your reference
Hello,
Thanks a lot for the answer. I understood the logic, but I keep getting this error:
Error: Output Data (3): Unable to Open archive for zipping: C:\Users\jacksmith\OneDrive\Desktop\Personel Data\Output Excels\output.xlsx'.\'HR.xlsx Can't open file: C:\Users\jacksmith\OneDrive\Desktop\Personel Data\Output Excels\output.xlsx'.\'HR.xlsx: The system cannot find the path specified. (3)
Here is my formula:
Do you know what could be the problem? Thanks a lot in advance!
EDIT: I have the workflow in the same folder as empty Excel file to which I want to write into.
