Missing File in Advanced - Step 4

Hi Alteryx Community!

 

I was working through the “Advanced – Step 4 Exercise: Iterative Macro” exercise with a client and noticed that the “Macro IN.yxdb” file is not located in the exercise folder or in the installation files that I can see. I also looked in the Alteryx sample data folder and don’t see it. Any chance one of you might have it?

Hi @joshuaburkhow

 

Please can you try the attached file. This worked for a client of mine.

 

The reason this errors is because the file actually isn't directly needed. The macro input will get replaced by the data which comes in from outside the macro. The data in the macro input is essentially a placeholder.

 

Best,
