Hi,
Please see attached screenshots, I am bringing in 5 different sheets from the one excel, with the same schema, for some reason no data is outputted from the dynamic input tool. For the 'Input data source template' I am using the first sheet in the excel.
Any clarification would be appreciated.
Thanks
Daniel
Hello!
Are you creating the full file path (c:/users....filename.xlsx|||sheet) or just the filename?
Usually it's just a straight input data/select sheet names option - straight to dynamic input where that field is brought in.
Can you clarify why you're using formula to change the path in-between?
can you attach an action tool to your dynamic input and attach a screen grab of the update value configuration? That shows the parameters being passed into dynamic input and how it's processing them.
This is slightly is a common issue. Even though the sheet templates might look same there might be slight difference which is not findable by human eyes. But Alteryx finds it has a difference and skips the sheet.
Here is a blog that might help you. You can look into it to check your current method. You can use the 3rd method is sheets are getting skipped.
Why are you not going with just "Change File/Table Name" option which will directly change the sheets since path is same.
Thanks for sharing the post. I actually have created that batch macro before however for this use case we are trying to avoid the use of Macros. The input data will be user inputted and this workflow is using a sample of this input so the format should be the same?
