Overwrite several single cells using multiple output tools

Hi guys,

 

my problem is that I have an input sheet in excel and I just want to overwrite 3 single cells(E16, E25 & E29). For example, cell E16 with "111111", cell E25 with "Google" and cell E29 with "Germany". I tried to use an output tool for each individual cell and selected "overwriting sheet or range" with range E16 on the first output tool, E25 on the second and E29 on the third.

 

Unfortunately it did not work.

Is it correct to work with multiple output tools or can one output tool do it for several individual cells?

Do you have any suggestions?

 

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi @r0deo4pple 

 

Yes, It is possible. Making use of Block until done will help to overcome the issue.

Could you please screenshot of the output to have a look.

 

Many thanks

Hi @ShankerV

 

I used block until done tools, maybe they are located wrong. I put them right after the Input Tool.

@ShankerV many thanks, it worked!

 

My problem was that I didn't worked with block until done tools yet and I didn't know how to use them and where. My data comes from one input tool but was then prepared in three different streams. I used an union tool and tried your way and it perfectly worked out.

 

Thank you very much!

 

Kind regards
