Hey @mickael_gest,

 

I am tried your solution. It works very well for the first time. But when I try for the second time i have as error message : unable to open file for write.

Hi @Fz,

 

This appends sometimes (probably a mis close of the document by Alteryx or Excel if you open it right after the workflow has ran).

A advise : don't open it right after the workflox has ran

To solve the problem, you just have to delete the file.

Did you change the output file type from csv to excel ?

If you did so, change the "output options" to "Overwrite File (Remove)".

Couldn't figure out how to get the dropdown tool to display the list of unique Position Numbers I created, so I copy pasted them into the interface and set it  to manual.  Workflow in spoiler.  App attached.
