Time Stamp Output File that Contains Multiple Tabs

[manchokim]

Is it possible to timestamp an output file that contains multiple tabs?

I have workflow that creates multiple tabs based on the result of the join function.

I then try to pass a formula to overwrite the Entire File Path with a timestamp but it results in an error.

Attached is an example of the workflow.

Use DateTimeStart to be safe - DateTimeNow could result in slightly different timestamps

Otherwise use Control Container to ensure one tab finishes before the next one starts

@manchokim Do you want one excel output file with different tabs or 3 different excel output file with 1 tab each?

[alexnajm]

Based on the workflow, one excel output file with different tabs I assume

[manchokim]

It would be one excel output file with 3 different tabs.

Did you try my solution then?

Sorry for the delay in responding, we were going through an update from Alteryx 2022 to Alteryx 2024 so I did not have Control Container tool at the time but can confirm now that this solution works.
