Dear community,

 

I have downloaded the macro as per the link Password Protected Excel Input Tool - Alteryx Community and would like to ask how we can use the macro if we imported the excel file as per screenshot below:

 

May i know how should i fill the options for the field file string and field password string as per screesnhow below? I have also attached workflow and excel file for your reference.

 

The excel file password is alteryx

Hi @SH_94 

 

If the password is just 'alteryx' then add a formula tool, create a field called password, and just type 'password' as the formula. This field can then be passed to the macro.

 

Note: For things like this you should export the workflow as a yxzp (Options>Export Workflow) so the macro is included in your attachment.

I'm not familiar with the macro but I'd imagine full path might be the best option. Unsure if you need to add the tab name.
