Dear Team,
Need help to import multiple excel files. I have ~60 excel files that need to import in alteryx is it possible to create a macro.
Name of the excel file :Analytics Master View Pages 20200501-20200930 (1) file name same except only the part which is highlighted in red is dynamic which is at the end i.e. 2, 3 , & so on till 60.
Hi @MB_Rocks
I assuming that all the files are in same format.
There one easy way just configure Input tool like below
So basically * is a wild character which can take any value there by reading all the files as your requirement.
Make sure all files are in same folder. And you need to replace (1) with *
Hope this helps 🙂
If this post helps you please mark it as solution. And give a like if you dont mind 😀👍
Thanks for your help I have done that as well its shows below error to me
Warning: Input Data (1): The file "Category Link Mapping\New folder\Analytics Master View Pages 20200501-20200930 (12).xlsx|||`Dataset1$`" has a different schema than the 1st file in the set and will be skipped
only three file I'm able to import
Tried ur workflow its same
the schema error occurs when using the wildcard method if there is a slight difference in field names or if in an Excel file there are columns which used to have data in but are deleted. In the link @atcodedog05 posted if you go to the method ‘3. Batch Macro with file paths’ then that will work. After importing check your columns are as expected, for example if you have a column called Date and one called date they will appear separately in the output.
