Hi Team,

 

There is an issue in Overwrite Sheet or Range as it is not getting updated. I have created output with the department wise then I tested it's working fine. Then I deleted a few department's data when I run the deleted department data also showing which old. as per me, there is no data particular department so it should show an empty sheet. Please help me out.

Recently I  also notice the same behavior similar situation.

Somehow, the Preserving Format fails to "delete" data which is already there.

Weekends Alteryx is my hobby. hhee

I am thinking to run a few more tests then maybe report a "Bug"?

And hope someone else can responds and proves us that we did something wrong.😁

This is definitely a problem and I agree that it needs to be reported as a bug.  Once I saw that I could preserve formatting this way I started using it with all my workflows I've modified in the last couple of months.  As it stands now I am going to have to undo all of changes I made.
