How to use precondition in Alteryx

Question

I am new to Alteryx and I have created a very basic module. the first part of module convert the test.csv file to test.xlsx format and second part is using the test.xlsx file and renaming the fields and doing some filters and creating a new output testNew.xlsx file.

The problem I am having how to run the first part first and second part second. Can't find the tool which can precondition.

Thanks

Hi manjarigoyal

I have two thoughts:

1) You could just run two workflows -

One to create the test.xlsx file

One to read that xlsx file, rename/filter and create the testnew.xlsx

2) You could have a workflow to read the test.csv file and then the workflow would have two branches - one to just save the test.xlsx file and another to do the filtering and renaming of the fields coming from the csv file and then output to the testnew.xlsx file.

That's the way I'd go unless there are some other needs not specified.

Cheers,
Bob
