Hi @Amy123 

 

Are you using 3 separate output tools? If so try using the 'Block Until Done' tool to control the order in which the output tools write. Find a logical point in your workflow where it branches into these three outputs and connect each branch to the corresponding anchor on the tool

I have 11 separate output tools.

Hi @Amy123 

 

You can use multiple block until done tools.

Hi @Luke_C I am using the multiple block until done tools but the sequence is not coming properly.

Hi @Amy123 Are you overwriting an existing file or creating a new one? (if the former, fix the order in the excel).

 

Otherwise please provide an example workflow

Hi @Luke_C

Hi @Amy123 

 

If you're overwriting the sheets in an existing workbook the sheet ordering would be determined by the workbook and Alteryx would respect that (I just tested this to be sure). Open your excel file, order the sheets how you want, then run your workflow. Is the tab order changing?
