To import multiple files with different schemas using a batch macro in Alteryx:
Create a Batch Macro: Start by creating a new batch macro. This will allow you to process each file individually.
Use Input Tool with Wildcard: In the batch macro, use an Input Data tool and set it to read files using a wildcard (e.g., *.csv). This will pull in all files matching the wildcard pattern.
Dynamic Input Tool: If your files have different schemas, use a Dynamic Input tool inside the macro to handle varying structures. Configure it to adjust to different schemas as needed.
Configure the Batch Macro: Set up the macro to loop through each file and apply the necessary transformations or analyses. Make sure to include any necessary error handling for schema mismatches.
Run the Macro: Connect your macro to a workflow and run it. The macro will process each file in the specified directory according to the wildcard pattern.
