Submission GuidelinesHi GUI Gang
At the moment, I have a lovely formatted XLS with corporate branding, logos, filled cells, borders etc. The data from the Alteryx output needs to start in cell B6. I have tried the output tools to this named range, but Alteryx destroys all the Excel formatted cells in the data block.
As a workaround on the forums, many Alteryx users pump out to a hidden "Output" tab, and then code =OutputA1 in the formatted sheet. This looks messy to the users who then go hunting for the hidden tab. Personally I end up pumping the workflow out to a temporary CSV file. Then opening that in Excel, selecting all, and then pasting values in the pretty Excel file.
This is fine for one file, but I need to split the output report block by a country field and do this 100s of time for each month end.
Please can we have a output tool that does the same as my workaround. Outputs directly from a workflow to a range in Excel that doesnt destroy the workbook's formatting.
