I used an excel file as a reader, read in all needed features, do some calculations, then use the same excel file in featurewriter to update one cell in it. The process works if I enable the feature cache and run step by step. But a complete run encounters an error indicating the writer fails due to the excel file being open. I need the process to run in the same workbench so I can use FME parameter XLSX_ROW_ID for excel to locate which cell is to be updated. If I can close the excel reader after all features are read in, and let the feature writer open it again for update, that should work.
