create or replace excel sheet

It would be awesome if we could perform a 'create or replace' on an excel file with the output tool. The tableau TDE extract has an output option that says "Overwrite existing extract file (Create if does not exist)" If the excel file format option could have this same output option that would help out a ton!

It does now. I swear that it wasn't working before and I had run into this issue working with others in the company. We might have been on 10.1 when we found that and I hadn't retested it when I submitted the idea. Thanks!

:-) You're not the only one who has had things not work, and then work the next time without changing anything we can remember.
