How to run workflows in sequential order?

[Rinkashime]

Hi! 

I consider myself a novice in Alteryx. 

I needed help in running my workflows in sequential order.

I have 4 workflows that will output 4 excel files. 

I want to run it in sequential order in one yxmd. 

is that possible?

Please let me know and thanks in advance

Hi,

i believe a list runner macro can help you.

here there is a video how it works:

you can download it from here

alternatively you can change your workflows and save them as macro.

afterward merge them in one workflow but I think the first solution is more elegant and easier to maintain.

Another possible yet simple way might be using the Block Until Done Tool.

Hi @Rinkashime 

Block until done is definitely a solution.

Here is a usecase with a similar scenario its writing to 2 different tab of the same file one after other.

If you are not using block until done it might cause file lock issue.

Hope this helps 🙂

If this post helps you please mark it as solution. And give a like if you dont mind 😀👍
