Multiple worksheet order

lillyt2006

I have to create multiple worksheets in a set order in an Excel spreadsheet. My workflow has logic to create about 10 worksheets. Based on the completion of a workflow, the worksheets are being created in that order. (which I do not want) I am also trying to avoid having workflow lines everywhere. Is there a way to have the sheets in a define order?

Hi @lillyt2006 

 

One method you can use to control the sheet order is to use a "Block Until Done" tool. That way, the sheets get added on in the order you want them.

 

If you have more than three sheets, you can just chain as many "Block Until Done" tools as you need.

Using "Block until done" is generally a good practice when writing multiple sheets to the same document as it makes sure that one process is completed prior to initiating the next. Great advice...:)
