The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet with 2 different tabs of data. My first step seems to work and creates a tab called "A". Then I select a subset of that data and try to create another tab of data, but I get the error stating the file is being used by another process. Do I need to close the file somehow in the first step before I try to add another tab of data?

Hey @jfrice59,

 

Depending on the case, you can use the block until done tool to order your processes.

Check this video and see if this helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QNQWLhWZOA

 

One detail worth mentioning, sometimes by disabling the AMP engine, that works without the need of using this tool.

 

Best,

Fernando Vizcaino
