Welcome to uipath community buddy

you know something, you were almost right buddy just change this alone buddy
“Emerging_Data_” & TEXT(TODAY(), “yyyyMMdd”) & “.xls”
The reason is mm denotes minute and MM denote month
thats y buddy
Kindly try this and let know buddy whether this works or not
Cheers @Pavan_Gunda

Thanks Buddy it is working fine.
One thing i dint understand here is …in excel mm shows as current month and value is perfect. However, why it is treating as minutes while reading the value and displaying it from uipath.
