I have a workbench to look at changes between a new worksheet and an old worksheet. These data populate three tabs in a workbook: "changed", "deleted", "updated". The intial run populated the deleted tab with a few records that had been deleted. I re-ran the workbench with matching data and the "deleted data" remained on the deleted tab. I would like the data on the tabs to be overwritten each time.
Solved
If no data comes through the workbench to a specific excel worksheet how do I ensure that the writer shows no data.

@kat18 The Truncate Existing Sheet on the feature type, as suggested by @ebygomm, only works if you write a feature to the sheet. The same with writer option Overwrite existing File = Yes. This looks like something we should fix.
In the meantime, add a Creator to your workspace and set Create at End = Yes. This will write a blank row to your sheet and trigger the truncate or overwrite, depending on which one you choose.
