Hello,

I seem to be outputting multiple folders when I run my app through data stream or data download.

Tried connecting all connections to one feature writer but it seems to be limiting me to one excel file if I do that so I did multiple feature writers for each excel file that I want.

Tested running my app through data download and data stream and it outputs multiple folders - one folder per feature writer.
Was wondering if I am able to simply download all excel files right away without putting them into a folder or just output them all into one folder.
Screenshot below.

Feature writers under Microsoft excel format. Basically 2 sheet type. 1 is based on a value and other is count sheet
Not much configuring except the name of the excel, sheet names, and drop/truncate both yes
Here’s an example of what it outputs - 4 Folders(I suppose 1 folder for a specific feature writer)

use fanout in writer based on attribute value you want. set fanout to “yes” and set the folder name and fanout value

I don’t think featurewriter in excel format has a fanout option. I used featurewriter because there’s another sheet that I want added.
