@yuanlu Add a browse tool after the macro in your workflow and try running

@yuanlu Also I think you need to pass the sheet name along with the full path as the input to the macro .

Hi Binuacs, I cannot open your file. It says your app was created by a newer version Alteryx.

@yuanlu I just added a formual tool and updated the FullPath variable

[FullPath] + '|||templates'

@yuanlu Did you add the browse tool after the macro. I am getting the below record counts from both the files. If you are using the older version of Alteryx and to open the attached one , first open the attached workflow in a notepad ++ and change the version (will be in the top of the page) to your workflow version
