I am trying to create my first macro. It seemed really easy. The macro returns the correct results in the macro. When I tried to use the macro in a workflow it returns 1 row 1 column. It seems to be returning what tool was the previous one before it exits the macro. Can someone give me an idea what I did wrong?
Inside Macro.
In workflow.

I thought of a batch macro but I don't think it would work for what I need to do. I have like 20 tables I need to pull from seismic as individual tables. The first website is to get a token id so that is always the same. The second website that I am entering in the macro screen is different for each table. So my standard macro is bring back that data table for that second website. After I get each individual table, each have different fields so after the macro is different per each table depending on what columns are each table. I end up putting them into SQL. The idea is once they are in SQL, I can create another Alteryx that joins some of those tables to create a new table that I can pass to Tableau to give the users what they need to see.
From my understand of the batch would be it would join all the tables together or am I wrong in my understanding of it?
Ah I see. If you have lots of different schemas it may be best to keep them separated especially given the secondary URL. Although you can leverage a batch macro for this, it would only work if the data transformations like crosstabs/transposes are set up dynamically enough to accommodate the differences between tables.
