Running a Workflow with Null Input Data

Hi Folks,

I have a question regarding running a workflow in Alteryx with null input data.

To elaborate, I have 10 File Browse -> Input Data tools in my workflow. However, there may be scenarios where only 3 input files are selected, and the remaining inputs are null.

Is there a way to configure the workflow such that the Input Data tools automatically handle null or blank file paths? Specifically, can the file path strings in the Input Data tools be replaced with null/blank values to prevent errors in such cases?

Hi, @akvsachin 

 

You can use add new action to delete the null File-Browse / Input tool or tool contains.
