Error while sending output to multiple tabs in excel

[Ragini]

Hey experts,

I get the following error while trying to output data to multiple tabs in the same excel spreadsheet.

"..process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". Note that this error occurs *randomly* after moving the workflow to another network drive and I believe it is because the server is slow. I have read previous posts that have suggested using Parallel Block until Done but I am not sure where to place the tool in my workflow since the data is being output from a single data stream for a given file. Attached is a screenshot of how the workflow looks like at the end. Output File 1 & 2 have multiple tabs with different "accounts". Currently it will write 1 or 2 tabs in the sheet and then throw the error, so the files are not complete. I have tried playing around with the throttle tool, but it takes a long time and I'm not sure if it does the trick. I ahve also checked that the AMP Engine is unchecked. Would appreciate any inputs! TIA!

Hi @Ragini 

Maybe just a block until done could solve it, it is worth trying.

Hi @Ragini 

You can utilize the Block until done tool to output to multiple sheets.
