uncertain input number each month

Hi all,

 

I would like to ask you if I have a situation where I need to figure out how to adjust the workflow for an uncertain number of inputs. as these inputs are changing from month to month, sometimes the input files will be 6 sometimes 7, depends ... 

 

Have you ever met in this kind of situation? 

 

I know, I can still merge the data into one file each month but I would like to know some smarter solution as this workflow is going to be used on the Alteryx gallery. 

 

Thank you very much

 

Katarina

@Kate13122 One option is to use the directory tool to read all the files, you can find a sample workflow in the below post
