Hello!
I've come across a bunch of excel files where I need to read only one Tab (called "Output")
However the data in each cells in the tab I need to read the data from are all linked to an another tab in forms of formula looking like this :
=Alteryx!A2 or =Output!G2 (or again =Calc!N18*1)
The issue is that when I first input my data into Alteryx, I only have Null vallues
Only way to make Alteryx read the real value, is to open the Excel file, then close while saving.
Edit : here is a pic of my data
Issue is that I have 100 + files so I was wondering if there was any way around it
Thanks !
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes, that is what I was suggesting. Replicate the Excel logic in an Alteryx workflow.
Since you have these Excel spreadsheets already you can use them to validate and debug your replacement workflows.
Based on what you have revealed this will likely be the most robust solution and the least work for you (other than you may have to spend some time learning additional functionality in Alteryx - which is not a bad thing.)
Yes, formula tools will definitely be used, but you may also need to use some other tools like summarize to perform any aggregations.
