Hi Team, 

I want to automate a manual task of un-ziping files using Alteryx.

 

I have lot of folders from which I am manually unziping the csv files.(see attached) Is there any way to automate this using Alteryx.

 

I would really appreciate any help with a sample workflow on this. 

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @i_m_AB 

 

Yes, it is possible. 

 

Could you please confirm the name of the ZIP file so I can incorporate the same in the solution I build for you.

Also let me know how dynamic the name of the ZIP file will change.

 

Many thanks

Hi @ShankerV , that's the thing the zip file names are not predefined.

The names do not follow any kind of structure. Is there any workaround for this.

If it is any help the zip file name in all the subfolders is like 'part-00000%'

Hi @i_m_AB 

 

Please be informed that, I taking the requirement as all the ZIP files all in the subfolders 'part-00000%'

Also the workflow being build will work on machine only, not in server.

 

Many thanks
