Output file name

Hi  team

 

How do I change the output file name to change based on a set format automatically 

 

Say everyday an I run it.. It will look at the date and based on today's date output.. 

 

schoolforkids02012020

 

The schoolforkids remains static just the date changes in the output file name (csv) . How do I do this?

Hi @henrygeorge you will need to use the Append Suffix to File/Table Name in the Output Data tool. I mocked up a workflow to demonstrate this.

Hi @JosephSerpis,

 

Your solution works well for me with csv. However, when I want to use the same logic of appending a text to the already existing file name in the case of Excel, it does not work. Instead, it creates a sheet with that name.

 

How can I append some text to the file name in Excel format? In my case only replacing the full path works but I would like to append text to the file name.

Best,

Atamert
