Hello, is it possible to write date to Excel dynamically (as it happends with Shape-file)? Without writing the Name of the output at the begin? I wonder if there is any Workaround to do it?

In my case i Need to write Information in different Excel-Files with the Name of variable (depends on class of the data).

You can dynamically create excel files. It is not quite the same as with shapefiles as they are a folder based format whereas excel is a file based format. See https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/565/fanout-1.html

 

What you need to do is create a dataset fanout on your writer, not your feature type.
