Hello, I have tried to use the wildcard to bring in all my files with one input tool. I have tried several times with no success. I am trying to find a video with a step by step process, is there a place for step by step videos?

There is documentation of Input data tool, which includes the explanation of using wildcard.https://help.alteryx.com/20231/designer/input-data-tool.

The link posted by Dina above works great, but you can also ask your direct question here in the community. The community will typically respond with a workflow solution which you can use to trace back the steps and learn. Or they can help you specifically.

 

Is the wildcard you are using trying to read in a file or several files?
