Create copy of file and read it in , within the same workflow

[wonka1234]

Hi,

How can I create a copy of an excel file and read it in the same workflow?

The reason i am doing this is because many folks will have it open and when I run my workflow when Its open - the workflow doesnt run properly.

So I want to create a copy then read that in, all in one workflow.

When someone has it open - the results of my workflow are wonky... I need the file not to be opened when i read it in.

@wonka1234 ,

How about making a temporary copy using Run Command tool?

The Example workflow of the tool is a good sample of your case (create a copy of a file).

I agree with @Yoshiro_Fujimori  and the sample workflow for Run Command Tool is like this.

@Qiu @Yoshiro_Fujimori  will it run in the same workflow as i read in a file? Anyone have example workflows?

There is an option "Read Results" in the Run Command Tool,

See the quick sampel flow below.
