Categories to Excel Sheets

This component creates the Excel file and writes the selected columns of the input table to the separate sheets of this file. Each sheet contains a subset of the data as defined by the categories in a selected column.

Options

Overwrite existing file
Existing files will be overwritten if this option is enabled. Otherwise the node will fail during execution to retain the original file and to avoid unintentional overwrite.
Columns to be written into the Excel file
Select whether all or only a subset of columns will be written into the file. By default all columns will be written.
Split the table based on
Select the column on which the split of the table to different Excel sheets will be based. Rows with missing values in the selected column will be written to the separate Excel sheet called "Unknown".
Location (the directory where the file will be located)
Enter a path to a file. The required syntax of a path depends on the chosen file system, such as "C:\path\to\file" (LocalFile System on Windows).
