FileName: "C:\Users\..." was truncated to 254 characters

Hi all,

I am facing an issue in alteryx designer after using .xlsx file as input and selecting output FileName as field : Full Path,

I'm not able to get complete path due to error mentioned in subject line. (Reason : File name is too long but I need to retain it as it is.)

I'm aware that taking .csv file as input might help solve this problem but wanted to know if there is any workaround in case file format is .xlsx.

Thanks,

Have you tried using a Directory tool instead?

Yes I did, but facing same issue.

Thanks,

LongPathTool helps handle deep file paths that cause truncation errors like this.
