Output Files to a Shared Drive

Is there a way to dynamically name the excel output file depending on the current day? Ideally, I could have the file be named the prior day for each business day.

This works for me

To clarify the issue is that you are using a table based write operation. Not a file based write operation. By setting to file based, it will edit the file name.

Thanks for all the help @WillBowman - doesn't seem to be working so maybe I'll have to adjust the other part of the workflow

Haha I'm dumb. Either do full path and put the full path in the field name or change to .csv/non-table based format.

So if it needs to be in an excel format, what change should be made?

 posted a fix along with a simpler example in a toolbox in your workflow. We are overwriting the entire path now.
