I have a process I'd like to automate, and the first step is importing a table into my project gdb. I've been using Table to Geodatabase. When I drop this tool into ModelBuilder, the output is the gdb. However, I want that newly imported table (not the gdb) to be the output so that I can plug it into the next tool. But that tool doesn't seem to allow anything other than a gdb as the output.
How can I get around this? Is there a different tool that would accomplish the same thing but give me the table as the output? (I'm new to ModelBuilder-- apologies if there's an obvious solution that I'm just not seeing.)
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try the Export Table tool.

This works. Kind of counterintuitive to use an export tool to import data. Thank you.
The older tool to do this is Table to Table, which is a clearer name.

That tools is now deprecated and they recommend the Export Table tool.
Got it. Thanks @BobBooth1
