Can you control Excel sheet placement?

I was wondering if it was possible to control where a sheet is dropped in Excel? So far as I can tell, I can only override a sheet that already exists or add it to the end, after all the other sheets.

Hi @Cmcguire, are you looking to control the order of sheets in an excel output? I have numbered the excel tab names in the past to control the order of sheets, i.e. 1.REGION 2.AREA 3.CITY etc.

Thanks for the reply! I'm trying to add them to an excel document that already exists. In a perfect world I'll be able to have the sheets have the date on them. So if the program was run today it would open to the Overview sheet, with the next sheet being 10/6/2020, followed by 10/5/2020 and so on.

Hi @Cmcguire 

 

Thats doable using dynamic renaming of a column which will be passed to output Tool to split into sheets.

 

Hope this helps 🙂
