Connect 2 File Browse tool to a Python tool

ppatane

I have python code to copy 3 Excel sheets from one file to another, but I am not sure about how to properly connect 2 File Browse tools to a python tool. Is it just like this? To get the files into the data frame, would I use df = Alteryx.read("#2") and df = Alteryx.read("#3")

This isn't right.

You can:

1) preferred way -> connect file browse tools to a text tool (or two). Have the action tool update the path in the text input tool. if you are using multiple file browse - make sure to use the  action tool to update two different columns/fields. Note - two text tools is just a variation of this.

2) you can create template values in your python script. you can have the action tools update the template path locations. This is not preferered. Some of us have had rough experiences with action tools updating Python tools.

You cannot send data directly from an action tool into Python as a data frame. I'd recommend going back and reviewing whatever you are using to learn Alteryx.
