Feeding SQL Code in the Input Tool with Information

Kristie_Pires

Hello there,

I have a report that pulls data from the Redshift database using a SQL code - I have this code in the Input tool. I have another input tool that have the names of active colleague's IDs. This list of active colleagues continues to change. Is there a way for me to feed the 1st Input tool (the one with the SQL cd), the list of active colleagues without me having to open the SQL editor and manually add the updated list of colleagues name every time I run this report. 

The blacked-out names are the colleague's IDs that I manually update every time I run the report. I have multiple use cases hence I am asking if I can feed the Input tool this data automatically. 

If you've accomplished this - please let me know. Thank you 😊

Hey @Kristie_Pires, I’d have a look over my final comment on this post: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Dynamic-Query-and-Save-name-File/m-p/1115458#M276948

In your case, you’d use a regular input to bring in your list of IDs (from a db table, Excel file etc), then can use something like a Summarize tool to make a concatenated list, and replace the IN () list within your Dynamic Input.
