With Write Excel operator, strangely I wasn't able to find Excel File parameter to specify the file path. Could anyone help?

    Hi @yy7777,

    Have you try to : 
     - restart RapidMiner ?
     - update RapidMiner ?

    Regards,

    I just found that once the output portal "fil" gets connected the Excel File argument disappears from the parameter window. Why's that?

    Hi again @yy7777,

    OK, I understand. It's a priori the expected behaviour : 
    At the fil output port, the created Excel file is provided as a file object that can be used with other operators with file input ports.           
     - If you just want write your Excel file on your computer, don't connect the fil output port .
     - If you want write your Excel file on your computer AND use the file object created by RapidMiner with other operator(s) use the Write File operator like that : 


    Hope it helps,

    Regards,

    Lionel
