Output multiple files to different excel tabs

Hi! Is there a reasonable way to export mutliple Alteryx outputs into the same excel file under different tabs? I found this explanation (http://community.alteryx.com/Data-Blending/In-Out/Output-different-files-to-multiple-tabs-in-an-Exce...) but it doesn't work for me (Plus even if it did I really don't like the "table" function because I loose all my decimal points and have to go in one by one to my 60 fields and change it to include multiple decimal points). Any thoughts?

When we use the tool Block until done, is it possible for me to drop more than 3 sheets??? because, the Tool shows only 3 anchors.

Hi @Emanuelis ,

 

I put together a basic macro that I think does what you need.

You'll need to input your file paths etc.

The workflow takes four streams, representing disparate data sources, which are then given a source identifier and merged into one stream. They are then given fullpath fields and fed into an iterative macro:

The macro simply iterates through each instance and outputs to the dynamically created fullpath which includes a sheet variable:

Really simple, but does the trick.

 

Let me know if this helps.

Hi @mceleavey , Thanks for posting here. I see it's over a year old, but I'd love to see the macro config and it's coming in as a black question mark with the package that I cant't open.  Do you happen to remember how it worked? I just reviewed my first iterative macro example, so I'm a kindergardener. Thanks!
