Hi -

I have an input file with Sheet "A". I have to add a Sheet "A" to an already output file in a new sheet. How can I do? any help is appreciated.

ex: Below: Compiled BO input have sheet "A", I have to put that in France CSV output file with a new sheet created as sheet "A".

"France CSV output file"... if it is a "*.csv" file-format, then:

FYI, the "*.csv" file-format does not allow users to add more than one sheet. It's just one kind of Text file-format only.

 

Hence, you can consolidate your data (using "Union" tool and arrange your columns) then generate the desired output.

FYI, Output tool has only one input anchor so you cannot link more than one tool, however, you can export the consolidated data in multiple sheets of MS Excel file-format.

It worked :), thank you so much.

Simple but means a lot as I would create an output with multiple source and sheets. Thanks again!

or

If you click on three dots as shown in the screenshot below, will show you a dropdown for "Accept as Solution".

Hi @vizAlter,

 

I tried the way you suggested It worked but the fields /columns are collapsed. I have attached an expected output file with 3 sheets (A, B & C). Can you help me on this to create output as expected? with 3 inputs files with different sheets with different headers. Thanks in advance for your help.
