Environment Details


  • Alteryx Designer
    • All versions
  • Output data tool


Cause


When writing out a new spreadsheet, the file name does not contain a sheet name.



Resolution


Update the filename to include a sheet name. For example, append the sheet name using three pipe characters (|||) as the delimiter; or try reselecting the file in the Write to File or Database drop down, and it can prompt a sheet name option (in the second image below). For more information, see the Output Data help page.
