Hello:

I want to save the output result of the workflow as dd. mm.yy

For instance, the workflow will be saved in a previously formatted excel template with the date stamp on it. 

Output_19.08.22 formate

In the output directory, there will be an output file for the previous day.

 

appreciate your help.

Thanks

Try this.

 

Add a formula tool.

Then use that new field in your output.  At the bottom, check "Take File/Table Name From field, then choose the field from the formula tool.

You may need to add more to the formula.

Hi @Kinetic_analytics 

 

Here's a simple example - we can't work with your workflow because you did not include the data. You can do so by going to Options>Export workflow assuming no data is confidential. This will save the output to the same location as the workflow. You can update the period in the formula to include a more detailed file path if needed.

How about I want this output report in pre-populated and designed excel file format?
