Export to Excel (DB) supports database tables as inputs. The workbook sheet names are the (cleaned) input operator names, sorted alphabetically.

Input

Tabular data sets from preceding operators.

Bad or Missing Values: Null and empty values in the inputs are converted to blank cells in the workbook.

This setting is configurable in the Team Studio configuration properties in the file alpine.conf.
