Substitution variables for SQL filename

Using automation - is there a way to use substitution variables in the SQL file name in the Export Wizard. ie. ISValueCounts#VarFieldName#.sql? This approach did not work - is there another way?

Hello,

Unfortunately the variable substitution isn’t supported in this particular case. But I think you can use the Copy File activity (which supports the substitution) as a workaround.

For example: First add the Copy File activity, which copies ISValueCounts#VarFieldName#.sql to xxx.sql. And then use the “static” file name xxx.sql in the Export Wizard.
