Chose 2 different directories for Input source basis User Input provided

Sheeetal

One condition for Input selection is if user input is "Daily" go to "X" folder else if user input is "Monthly" go to "Y" folder . 

 

Both folders are distinct and don't have common root directory. 

 

Can i use a filter condition prior to Directory to chose basis the filter condition(i'm pretty new to Alteryx .Hence, would appreciate help)

@Sheeetal You need two directories one for X and one for Y, then union the two outputs then apply the filer based on the user selection

You could use the detour tools to run the appropriate directory tool based on user selection.

@Sheeetal Another option along with what @binuacs mentioned is to put each directory tool into it's own separate container - then based on user selection, disable the other container so the only one that runs is the desired directory.

You can use an interface tool (e.g., dropdown/check box) to control each process by controlling the container. If this helps, feel free to like the comment
