Output results in a excel file but in separate spreadsheets

Prashant_Raju

Hello,

 

I am trying to output the results in a single excel file but in separate spreadsheets.

I am using four Summarize tool to fetch the distinct count of four specific columns and then output it in a single excel file but in separate spreadsheets.

 

Please let me know how to achieve this. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Prashant_Raju 

 

In the output tool, configure your excel output as usual.

 

At the bottom of the config pane for the output tool, select 'take file/table name from field', selecting your summarise field and choosing the drop-down to 'Change file/table name'.

 

This will create one spreadsheet, with 4 tabs - one for each distinct grouping.

 

See the attached workflow for an example.

 

Hope this helps?

 

Thanks

Hello @DavidThorpe,

 

Thanks for replying however I am using four summarize tool to carry out to four different functions and then output the results in a single.

 

Please refer the screenshot in the attachment. Thanks!

Makes sense, please see the attached.

 

This version is set to 'Overwrite Sheet (drop)' In option 3 of the configuration options.

 

Hopefully this should work for you!

You might run into problems writing to 2 or more Sheets of the same excel file at the same time, i.e. if your datasets get a little bigger. You can then either:

 

1. Use block until done tools to write one sheet at a time.

2. Recombine the 4 different datasets with a Union Tool with a field that indicates which Sheet each set belongs to and use @DavidThorpe's first option.
