Macro for input data is not updating with file from filepath

Hi all 

 

I've got this macro and it worked for ages, but suddenly has stopped working and I don't know why.  When I use it in my main workflow, it just ends up importing the file that was originally referenced in the macro rather than the full path that is supposed to feed the maco input.

 

Anyway have anything similar and know how to fix it?

Can't remember using this before I upgraded but can't imagine an upgrade has broken it

@ck2019 Can you screenshot the action tool configuration or share the macro?

Sure here is a screenshot - if you still can't discern it from that i can try and upload a santised version of the macro.

 

Thanks for checking in on my post too!

@ck2019 The selection in the macro seems to be changed. Can you select the highlighted part and try again?

Sorry, yes that was previously selected, I was just having a nose around on some of the other options when i was taking the screenshot.  

 

I think I have solved my own problem though by adding the sheetname to the full path in the workflow that utilises the macro - not sure why i didn't have that before but it has certainly taken care of it, thanks for your time and effort in trying to help me.
