Hi everyone, I am relatively new to FME and am seeking assistance for a minor issue I am having. As part of a project I need to create an excel table that contains 9999 from various attributes and from multiple SDE feature classes. My excel table works but I want to include an attribute that indicates which feature class the record is from. I exposed the fme_feature_type attribute but am not table to get it to export out into the Excel table. What might I be missing? Please see the below screenshot. Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions!

Did you add the fme_feature_type attribute in the Excel writer feature type on the User Attributes Tab?

If it is listed in the Format attributes only, it will not be written.

Hope this helps.

It shows in the drop down list but yet I don't see it under the user attributes; I tried to add it but it keeps adding extra 00s at the end of the name.

I tried and get the same as you.

Your solution will be not to output the attribute as fme_feature_type, but for example as feature_type, like this:
