Hi guys,

 

I wanna output some data into excel template with some columns has certain format like background color

i used append to existing sheet and ticked the Perserve formatting on Overwrite, while when the data is outputed, the cell lost the original background color, is there any way i can keep those while writing data into excel?

Did you specify the range?

Like Sheet1$A1:F100

Hi Qiu 

I found one issue when using this approach, suppose it has many column and we have  column J and K has formatting, i set the range A1: K100

while the formatting is overwritten

It still works on my end as attached.
Can you check the setting of output tool?

I think I might be having the same problem.  I'm outputting to a range, overwrite sheet or range, and Preserve Formatting is selected but it's still eliminating my formatting.
