Import Multiple Alteryx Files Macro Error

Hi ,

I got a Workflow which has Import Multiple Alteryx Files Macro in it. I have that Macro in my tools section bar. Even I mapped those macros.

 

But still I am getting ? error in my Workflow. Any assistance on this

@Karthick461 it could be a number of things within the workflow and macro. When able, can you open the macro and share it (e.g. screenshot or the packaged workflow for the macro)?

 

Typically when sharing workflows, you must package them before sending them off to another user. If there are dependencies that macro relies on such as a reference table, that macro is going to error out because it is attempting to reference files from another user's machine.

When I open the Macro , I am seeing below flow

 

Input file is mapped to End user's machine path. and this macro also has one ? error

@Karthick461 Save the macros,  then from the Alteryx designer canvas - right click -insert -  macro

@Karthick461 it looks like the error-driven rabbit hole goes down further 🤣

 

Was the workflow packaged prior to it being sent to you? Based on the most recent picture, I cannot tell whether that file was successfully brought in or not. If that's what the first layer of the macro looks like, I suspect that it was not, and will be a cause for errors at that macro level.

 

As for the second container in your most recent picture, it appears that one is errored out as well. When you have nested macros - that's what the two pictures present  together- if you have one level of the macro erroring out, it is going to trigger the entire macro process to error out regardless if there are elements within a respective macro layer that do not have issues. Each layer is going to have to be troubleshot in order to get the entire process to fire off correctly.
