Browse file macro

Hi all,

I am pretty new to macro side of Alteryx.

I want to build a .yxwz app having a workflow at the back end. When a user opens the .yxwz app, it should ask him for two things.

1. Select an account file

2. Select last years' account file.

Then user would hit the folder option, browse and select the required file and the macro will run in the back end and output a dashboard.

Now, I have my workflow in place. But can you please help me configuring the input using File Browze and Action Update Value.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks

You would just need to add a file browse and action tool for each input file. The input tool would be configured to update input data tool. See below for an example. Let me know if you need additional help!

You don't actually need to change anything within the Action tool configuration - the default setting should do the trick.

You can choose to limit file types users will be able to browse for in the File Browse configuration.
