Output Excel from Gallery - Select Format -> Unknown File Type (repost from wrong forum)

Hello!

 

Goal: I'm using gallery to allow folks to upload two Excel files, do some transformations and unions, and then download the new single Excel file.

Problem: The gallery workflow runs great, except when I run it and try to download my file, it doesn't allow me to choose a file type. If I download it as 'unknown' type and add .xlsx to the file, it'll open as expected in Excel. I just think my users might get confused and struggle with that last random step (it'll be going to >100 people). Can someone help me fix this?

 

Note:

  • In my workflow, I specify Excel output format and provide it the .xlsx file type.
  • I've tried switching it to yxdb output, but I still get only the same 'unkown' option when trying to download my output from the gallery
  • Link to original post (sorry!)

Figured out the issue - thanks to the post recommendations on the right side of my screen (tada emoji).

 

My .xlsx needed to be shifted to the left.
