Output data tool - Take filename from data set

Often I want to output an Excel-file with a dynamic filename, e.g. part of the filename is from a date field in my data set.

 

E.g. before the output tool I could add a column with "Filename" and use that in the output-tool (including path).

The tool default could be to use the first record as reference, but if the Filepath differs in each record,

there should be an option to output as many files.
