Hi,

 

Please help me and a little bit urgent.

 

I want a workflow in which we require to design an interface.

 

It should ask for 15 input file(e.g xls, xlsx, csv, txt, dat) with a selection of sheet names (as user have different sheet names) and also the delimiters for txt, dat, csv files.

 

The user have a multiple files with different file formats in mix.

 

one input file can accept any type of file format and should ask for sheet names.

 

If user inputs 4 files then all the other input files which are left blank shouldn't throw an error.

 

Please suggest some solution or workflow for this.

 

Thanks, it will be great help because i am in urgent

Hello,

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise on this. It was helpful to see a workflow that had radio buttons and input fields for a user input tool!

I also ran into the issue of

The Action "Tool #5" has an error: The file "*.txt" is not a known format. (2)

I don't know if you or anyone else might be able to help me figure out what is going on, but this is similarly an issue with a separate workflow I am creating!

Eduardo
