Batch Input Macro Not Working

[Guox0824]

Hi 

Hope someone here can help me.

I built a batch input macro for testing out my workflow, inside my input folder there are 3 files. Somehow the macro is only reading one file and combined the same file 3 times. Wondering if anyone has ever encountered this issue before?

Thanks

Please share your workflow and I can review and offer a solution.

Thanks

Please see attached workflow. Do you need the other two input file? So apparently the workflow is just reading this one input file and combine the same data multiple times

Hi @Guox0824 ,

In your macro, for the Action Tool, you have it configured with the "Input Data(1)" line highlighted.  This will do not change the input:

If you want to keep the setting as "Update Value (Defualt)", then you'd have to highlight the File - value entry and then check the Replace a specific string box at the bottom, like this:

However, for this, I always prefer to use the option "Update Input Data Tool", and then you don't have to worry about it, like this:

That should do it.
