Request: How to use a specified network share drive folder as the input location

Rlopez21

Hello! Alteryx newbie here. 

 

How can I configure my workflow to use a specified network share drive folder as the input location, instead of linking to a specific file? 

 

The input is an .xlsx file. The file name will be different each time we run this workflow which is why I can't just link to the file itself. For ease of use I'd like for users to drop the excel file in the folder, and the workflow will use it as the input. 

 

Is this possible to set up, and how?

If I understandy your intention correctly

You can copy the network drive path and use the wild card to not to specify the particular Excel file name as below
