Sharing the same date formula with 2 Formula tools

Apcvirgo1

I need to use the same date formula in 2 places in a workflow. The first feeds a query and the second is for the title of the output file. Is it possible to share the results from the first formula tool in the second?

Hi @Apcvirgo1 

 

You can use append tool to bring forward the date and append it.

Thank you, but the append tool doesn't let me add the formula to create the output file name. The date is needed for a monthly file - "\\WSOMHR06382v1\MISIRODept\MIS\PROJECTS2021\DA20210269 Sight and Referral Fee Report\Workflow\Test Q2 output "+[Month2]+".xlsx|||Sheet1"

Hi @Apcvirgo1 

 

You can calculate output path in the before formula tool itself and append later 🙂
