Macro error import multiple excel files

Gabriel
5 - Atom

Hello,

 

From a macro that I found in the community, I have created another macro that, depending on whether it is an excel or text file, is generated by the Alteryx database.

 

I have created three macros: One that identifies the type of file to import, another that imports several excel files and another that imports a txt or csv file.

 

The problem I have is when executing the import macro of an excel file, if I execute it from the select macro it does not give problems but if I execute it from the initial flow I get the following error:

 

Error: Macro select (264): Record #1: Import Excel: Record #1: Tool #11: Set up a connection to use the tool

Error: Select Macro (264): Record #1: Import Excel: The output connection "Output" was invalid

Error: Macro select (264): The output connection "Output134" was invalid

Please, could you tell me what this error could be due to? Since it is quite strange.

 

Thank you, Gabriel

I have already solved it. 

 

To solve this error I have created an additional field and I have joined the file extension and the sheet to import from that file.
