Hi @Ro2 

 

Are you sure the Input Data Tool inside your batch macro is configured for yxdb files?

Hi David,

I'm not 100% sure. Can you tell from below?

Hi David,

 

I actually changed the macro from exel to Alteryx. My previous post showed the change. At first it did not work but once I closed the macro tab it worked 🙂

 

Thanks for pointing this out.
