Hi guys! If I want to filter and get this excel file name: Revised… and I don’t want this excel file name: Tentative… when downloading attachments from outlook within the same message and sender how do I do that? So scenario is like this:

I receive attachment excel file yesterday: Tentative…

I receive attachment excel file today: Revised…

Thanks!

The other way is you can download the attachments in a folder and delete the unwanted files from a folder would be an easy solution.

Get list of files in a folder and then delete the files which contain Tentative in the file name.
