Control Containers and Cross Tab Tools

[Pajosh]

I have a controller container in my Alteryx workflow, with the input anchor configured. My understanding, is tool within control container WILL NOT execute if no data is passed into the control container input anchor. However, both a SELECT and SORT tool keep failing (note these tools precede a CROSS TAB tool). 

how is it possible that tools within that container are failing if nothing within the container is suppose to execute if no data exists?

@Pajosh It is hard to say without seeing the configuration but my guess is either the container connected to the one in question is working correctly OR you don’t have a container before the one you mentioned making the one in your post the “first” container. Meaning it will run like normal.

I hope this helps!
