Hi @tanvir_khan ,

 

I attached a copy options that hopefully you can help you out. If I'm understanding your question correctly, you ultimately need to remove the File_Name column from you Table tool. Using the group by options in the reporting tools, you can pass the filename column through the reporting tools without adding them to your table. The second option removes this column before the table tool and adds it back before your email tool. Hopefully this helps!

It took me a long time to kind of figure out the reporting tools so I'm glad I was able to help!

Yeah man, the person who resolves a problem first goes thru the ultimate sufferings.

 instead of playing with notorious table tool, I was focusing on innocent email tool. 🙂
