How to input multiple excel with similar filename in different folders

Paddi

Hi all,

 

I'm currently working on an Alteryx project which needs to input multiple excel files from different folders, for example:

 

ABC20231001.xlsx (\\desktop\Oct\1001\ABC20231001.xlsx)

ABC20231002.xlsx (\\desktop\Oct\1002\ABC20231002.xlsx)

ABC20231003.xlsx (\\desktop\Oct\1003\ABC20231003.xlsx)

 

 

Do you know if there are any way in Alteryx to input them at once? Thank you

You could use a Directory tool and tick find in Sub-Directory as well. Then it'll call all related name files as you require provided they are nested in the same folder tree.
