Workflow - If input file is blank

gavinloi

Hi All,

 

I am facing an issue whereby the alteryx reads the input file on a daily basis and it has formulas that passes through it. However I realized that if for a particular day, the excel is empty, a Parse error would occur as there is nothing for the formula to read. Can i check is there a way to bypass the formulas in this case or would there be a walk around ?

Thank you!

 

My workflow looks something like this but it only runs if the "Test - data" is the input file as it has values in it.

Yours Sincerely,

Gavin
