Dynamically change folder path using Calendar

GayatriPanigrahi

Hi All,

 

I have workflow that is pulling multiple excel files using directory from shared path and the folder structure is dynamic - SharedPath\FolderName\2020\Jun\22\Input\ 

And i want to change the date part available in folder structure i.e. "2020\Jun\22" basis on date selected in Calendar (Interface).

Hi @GayatriPanigrahi ,

 

you can use a Date tool and a formula to create the path as needed:

I've attached a sample workflow. Let me know if it works for you.

 

Best,

Hi @RolandSchubert ,

 

I am using Directory tool to read files, as i want to read all files available under folder.

Ho do I change Directory path using this ?

Hi @GayatriPanigrahi ,

 

I've modified the workflow a bit. You have to change the directory in the Action tool formula!
