Hi @CathrinaJay 

 

Righclick on the output file, Select Openwith and Select Notepad

 

This will help to open the file. If you are trying to open again in Excel, that might lead to error which you are encountering.

 

Many thanks

Hi @CathrinaJay 

 

Option 1: Use the Record ID tool.

This will create unique record for every row.

 

Then Split your data's based on the record id where record ID < 1000000

 

Where filter will have T and F node

T will contain record ID < 1000000

F will contain record ID > 1000000

 

Output into excel sheet from both T and F node separately

 

Many thanks

Option 2: Use the Record ID tool.

This will create unique record for every row.

 

Use a formula to create groups of 1 million per group (Use tile tool)

 

Output to your excel file just adjust the tool to create new tabs based on this grouping.
