TMP files causing issue with making final write to excel output

I have a workflow that is taking one large data input (from Excel) and then performing incentive calculations to end at: 1) a large output file in excel 2) individual scorecard files for each person that an incentive is being calculated for.

 

I am having no issue with the first output. The second set of outputs are being generated using a formula to create the folder location/file name/excel worksheet name. When I try to run the workflow when the output files already exist, I keep running into an issue where I am receiving the error "Unable to make final write to V:\......, error in use by another process". The error comes inconsistently at different files and sometimes I don't receive the error at all. It appears that when the TMP/BAK file is being created that is when my process is getting caught up. I am also writing to a network/shared drive.

 

Any help that anyone can provide is appreciated. I have tried to search the other forums/discussions and have not seen anyone else run into a similar issue.

Hi @kesslerc1 

 

Did you try to use Parallel Block Until Done Macro?

It is contain in Crew macro.

In the complex situation, it will work more stably than Until Block Done.
