Hi @SR,

 

Yes, this is possible! This guide details exactly how to make this happen. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to help :)

Just putting a shortcut here to the formula used so that next time I can't remember how to do this I'll find it here right away LOL!

 

"C:\FilePath\FileName_"+[FileDate] + ".xlsx|||SheetName_"+[FileDate]
