Hello, I have .txt file saved in Team folder, and I do not find the right extension to configurate to load the file (sharepoint input tool). Anyone has any idea how to load txt file from a sharepoint folder to connect with Alteryx?

 

thanks

I run a weekly workflow where the input is .txt, and I do it by selecting .csv as the input file type.

When I choose CSV  as extension for txt, I got an error message - invalid extension.

@Miles_Waller I believe you do it when the .txt file is located on the desktop? The problem starts when the .txt file is located on the sharepoint

I do have same issue. do we have solve for this? I need to input txt file and configure as CSV. But result window throws error as 'invalid extension'. any help?

I have the same issue with some other problem. Initially in the workflow, the text file is being extract as flat file, with field layout applied.

Is there anyway to do the same thing which we want to extract the text file (and applying field layout) through sharepoint input?
