outputting to the input file

[jonpass]

Hi everyone,

hopefully this should be a quick question. I have a workflow that reads an input then splits it up and joins with some other data. My questions is can I set Alteryx to automitically output to the orignal input without having to choose the file name in both the input and output tool?

Regards

Jon

I think what you want to do can be done as follows:

1. Check off the "Output File Name as Field" option in the Input tool
2. Run your process
3. Insert a Block Until Done tool between your process and the output
4. Configure the Output tool to "Take File/Table Name From Field" and use the [FileName] field
