    <p>I currently have a 'Save Export' task that is saving a table (+1 million records) to an .xlsx file on a SharePoint folder via mapped network drive. I want to add the date to the file Excel file name.</p> <p>Currently for Export-Excel Spreadsheet: File Name is: <code>U:\Reporting\Extracts\Excel_filename.xlsx</code> File format: <code>Excel Workbook (*.xlsx)</code> Under Specify export options: I don't have anything checked. </p> <p>With Date: File Name is: <code>U:\Reporting\Extracts\Excel_filename_mm_dd_yyyy.xlsx</code> File format: <code>Excel Workbook (*.xlsx)</code> Under Specify export options: I don't have anything checked.</p> <p>I would want the final file name to be: <code>Excel_filename_09_18_213.xlsx</code></p> <p>I don't want to use VBA because creating the .xlsx file takes over 4 hours. Export the table directly to the SharePoint folder is faster, but I need to update the file name with the current date. Could I create a macro that adds the date to the file name before it is posted to SharePoint? Is there a 'RunCommand' or 'RunCode' command that I could run that would generate the file name with the date?</p> <p>I have tried the following for the file name, and they didn't work. I get "Failed creating file." "The specification failed to execute. Try re-creating the specification.":</p> <pre><code>U:\Reporting\Extracts\Excel_filename&amp;(Format(Date()),"yymmdd"))&amp;.xlsx U:\Reporting\Extracts\Excel_filename%Date:~12,2%%Date:~4,2,%%Date:7~2%.xlsx "U:\Reporting\Extracts\Excel_filename"&amp;(Format(Date()),"yymmdd"))&amp;".xlsx" U:\Reporting\Extracts\Excel_filename_(Format(Date()),"yymmdd")).xlsx </code></pre> <p>Many thanks in advance.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
