Export To Microsoft Excel
The Export To Microsoft Excel node writes the output of a dataflow to a Microsoft Excel file. The node takes the incoming data and generates an Excel file that is stored in a selected location.
Steps:
- Select a File source (e.g. OneDrive or Any2Info platform storage).
- Choose the destination Folder.
- Define the File name.
- The node generates an Excel file based on the input data.
- The file is stored in the selected location.
Configuration
Section titled “Configuration”| Setting | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| File source | Yes | The connection where the Excel file will be stored (e.g. Microsoft OneDrive or Any2Info platform). |
| Folder | Yes | Opens a folder picker to select the destination folder. |
| File name | Yes | The name of the generated Excel file. |
The node uses the incoming dataset from the previous node. Each column becomes a column in Excel, and each row becomes a row in the Excel file.
Output
Section titled “Output”- An Excel file is created in the selected location, containing all columns and rows from the input dataset.
- The dataflow continues without modifying the dataset.
- The entire dataset is written to a single Excel file.
- Column names are used as headers in the Excel sheet.
- Data types are converted to a compatible Excel format where needed.
- Use clear and descriptive file names.
- Be mindful of large datasets, as they may impact performance.
- The connection must have permission to write to the selected location.
- Existing files may be overwritten depending on the file source behavior.
- Large Excel files may take longer to generate.
