Action and Excel / sheet

Hi experts,

 

I'm trying to work with Action and Text Box components.

 

I have two Excel files on my desktop :

  • test 2018.xlsx
  • test 2019.xlsx

These two files have many sheets but one with the same name : "test"

 

What I need to do is very simple : when I execute the application, I choose the year and It handle the good file.

 

I tried with the following formula : "C:\Users\Administrateur\Desktop\test "+[#1]+".xlsx|||`test$`"

 

Unfortunatly it doesn't work... Do you know which formula I can use?

 

Best regards,

Hi @JosephSerpis ,

 

Thanks you for you quick response but no : it doesn't work...

 

The worklow is not even capable of opening the documents : it continue to process the same input.

Hi @vincent2mots you need to change the configuration slightly on your action tool and select File -Value. I mocked up a workflow as well which I you can change the filepath as well.Dynamic_Input_230702020.JPG
