# What will be the outcome if we write files multiple times to the same Excel Destination?

In the first run, it will always create a new file and write the data to that destination. In any subsequent runs, the user can choose how to write the file.

![AppendTo](https://docs.astera.com/projects/faqs/en/latest/_images/AppendTo.png)

If the *Append to File (If Exists)* option is checked, the file will be appended to the existing Excel file. If the option is left unchecked, the Excel file will be overwritten.

If the *Write to Multiple Files* option is checked, the data will be written at the dynamic file path provided by the user.
