Can someone please help me to understand how we can read multiple files with one input tool. I tried "?" and "*" wildcard but only few files are reading.

This is the best article to explain the different approaches of reading in data. My guess is that your data has different formats/schemas

@jkorattiyil I would also check the results window to check for warning messages saying files are being skipped.

@jkorattiyil If the file are having different schema then you will not see those records as @IraWatt mentioned check your warning or error messages in the canvas. If the files are having different schema then you should use the batch macro mentioned by @BrandonB
