Hi Community,

 

I would like to ask why the batch macro is not working but the result does not show any errors.

 

Currently , i am compiling different country file and noted that only one file being imported into the alteryx despite i using the batch macro.

 

May i know how should i fix this so that it will read all the files?

Hi Jacob, 

Are you able to export the workflow to package the macro and add it to the thread. From my initial view i cant be sure why it might be failing but if got a look 'under the hood' it might help me sport the issue.

Hello @SH_94 ,

 

Could you share the results window from the workflow (without clicking any tool). Are there any warnings shown?

Hello @SH_94 ,

 

Not having any warnings or "strange" messages makes it difficult to evaluate from here. Could you please enable within the macro, on the "runtime tab" the "show all macro messages" checkbox?

 

This might give me a hint. Also if you could upload your workflow here I might see what is happening faster.

Hi @afv2688 ,

 

Kindly find the files below for your reference.

 

However, i noted the zip file only save one file and i not sure whether it is correct or not because there are two file in the folder. And when i save the workflow , it only capture one file.

 

Screenshot below show that i have two excel file but the zip file only capture one file

Hello @SH_94 ,

 

I have tried your macro and for me it seems to be working perfectly. I created duplicates from your files and had no probs.

 

Regards
