[urgent, please help!] Multiple Macro Output, same file name with different sheets

hungdm

I developed a workflow which contains multiple output branches, but later on, I only want to output all of those branches into 1 single file containing multiple sheets.

 

How can I achieve this goal?

 

Many thanks!

Hi @hungdm,

 

You need to use reporting tools to achieve this.

 

This is the article that should help you (it have a workflow example you can just download it).

Maybe we try to use the Block and Done Tool.
Create and Include a full Path Field in your each branch, including SheetName.

Given that you're dynamically specifying the file name - you can do the same with the sheet name in your formula tool - and the output tools will write to the same file in different sheets.

I agree with @Qiu 's point about using a block until done so that you don't end up with multiple writes trying to happen at the same time.

 

Excel files have the format c:\temp\testfile.xlsx|||sheet1 - so you just need to change the sheet name using a formula.
