Hey guys, I have created a workflow that I want to apply to many files on excel.
I tried to use the xlsx wildcard but I want to edit specific ranges of rows. For example I need to select specific range of data ( same on each file) and then process. As wildcard consolidates all data I cannot select the range dynamically. As such I have created a workflow that applies to only one file and need to dynamically replicate that to all the others which are in the same folder.
Any idea anyone?
Hi @tolis it sounds like you need a Batch Macro this would change the filepath per batch and then run the rest of your workflow. Are the sheet names the same per file or do they change?
This is a great scenario to create a macro. You can add a control parameter and action tool that are connected to the Input Data tool. At the end you can add a macro output. You can then save this as a macro which can be used in another workflow. You can use a directory tool to feed in a list of file paths into this macro and process each file independently which would accomplish the specific range processing that you are looking for.
Here is a helpful interactive lesson on the creation of macros: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Interactive-Lessons/tkb-p/interactive-lessons/label-name/Macros
The sheet names are the same but file names are not
@BrandonB @JosephSerpis Is there a way to use multi row formula to dynamically select the range of data that I need in order to move on?
