Block until Done with Union Tool

Hello,

 

I have 2 outputs getting generated from Join tool which need to be written to the same excel in difference worksheets. When I output them to the same file with different Sheet Names I get the error that the file is being used by another process. 

 

I unable to use Block until Done as it takes only 1 source. 

How can I achieve this? 

 

Thanks for your help!

If you have the crew macros installed, there is a tool under there called Wait A Second which should allow you to delay the second output long enough for the first to complete.

I would recommend the parallel block until done as a part of the CReW macro pack. This allows for two parallel processes and waits for the first to complete until beginning the second process. This is most useful when trying to write to separate datastreams to the same excel file.
