Output filter column with append existing excel file

Hi,

 

I will write an example to explain my request.

 

I have a file named "file-A" with for example column B - E - G ; and a "file-B" to fill, acutally it has only his header with column A B C D E F G H.

So I created a metadata for my file-A and my file-B.

How can I fill my file, using I suppose "attend existing file" and only the column B E G will be fill, others will stay empty, and using my metadata because actually in my real file-B I have like 200 column and I don't want to create them one by one in a tMap...

 

Is there any component or way to say : Column A from file-A go to column B from file-B, same with E and G, and the others are empty. 

 

Hope you'll understand, thanks

I'm not very sure, but I think you have simulate the structure of file-B in file-A

(read file-A) --->tMap-->(you add empty column to make the output similar to file-B structure)--------->(then you apend the content in file-B)

Yes I have this solution in my mind but, like what I said, I have like 200 column in my real file-B structure, and I don't want to create all columns one by one in tMap when my metadata is ready... But if there is no other solution, I'll do it with tMap

You can use tSetDynamicSchema. Not sure if it is available for the Open Studio though.
