Apply Dynamic Rule Table managed in Excel

Hi

 

I would like users to manage their own rules in an excel file rather than hardcode it into the Alteryx workflow There are 60 odd rules and they are ever changing and being added to. Is it possible to apply such a rule table to a dataset

 

For example

If the conditions are true for the first 2 Input columns, then output the values to the last 2 columns

You could keep the file on a network drive.  Then, wrap whatever workflow they apply to into a batch macro, having the control parameter update the tools where the rules apply.

Then just put that macro into a new workflow and have the file feed into the macro's input/control params.
