Dynamic input tool stuck at 1%

Hi Everyone , I have a workflow in which I am using 5-6 excel inputs for each  am using a formula tool to create the fullpath then after using a dynamic input to change the entire file path but after running the workflow , the workflow is stuck on 1% on dynamic input and not  progressing forward for hours, showing no error and remain in running state. If I run the workflow without the dynamic input tool then it runs properly without being stuck. What causing the the issue I am not able to understand can someone help??? Please help!!

you can use a macro to do this effectively

Are you able to post the workflow so we can review? There is definitely a more efficient way to accomplish your task, but the simplest approach will depend on your data structure.

Actually the reason of using dynamic input is to insert the todays date folder in the full path where my input files are downloading… can i achieve this using macro ??
