Dynamically get date input from user and inputting files created after

vdix
7 - Meteor

So I have created a workflow to look into a directory and to grab different sheets from different files in the directory and outputting the resulting excel file.

 

I want to be able to ask the user to dynamically enter a date and then pick files created right after that selected date. How can I do this using a filter tool?

Hi @vdix - You need an Analytic App. In the Interface tool palette please look at the Date tool example. You will need to replace the Generate Rows with a Directory tool and make required changes. Then after you will run your app you will achieve a desired outcome. Please review the screen show below.
