Polite123

Hi Team,

 

Need help for below topic.

 

I have three different tables.They are supposed to be part of the same sheet.

So I tried using Excel range at three different positions.I have used the correct range.

When I run it for the first time,it runs fine.

But when I run it for the second time below issue pops up despite Overwrite Sheet(Drop) option selected

Encountered existing data beyond specified range.

Hi @Polite123 

 

This might be due to the Configuration on Output tool related to Max Records Per file.

@Polite123 Try to increase the range and try again.

Hi @Polite123 

 

If the error still pertains, please share the snipshot of your settings. 

Will be useful for investigating further as we can use Block Until Done tool also.

 

Many thanks

Hi @binuacs ,

I managed to solve it by increasing the range to 9999.

Thank you so much for your help.
