Joseph Serpis (@JosephSerpis) has a great new post over on Intersections and Overlaps that shows how to use the Blob Input and Output tools to save you time with your Excel template files. Alteryx ACE @patrick_digan has already shown (here) that this novel use of the Blob tools is in fact a great way to move files around in general, perhaps more straightforward and faster to learn that the traditional method of using the Run Command tool.
