Hi @Akash01

 

Please find a workflow attached which looks at cells in a field which are greater than 100 characters in length.

 

I have used the message tool to create a dynamic error message based on the row and the number of characters in that field

Hi @JordanB

 

Thanks for helping me out, but I wanted a standard workflow which would work for every input file having different field names.

It would be time consuming and tiring to put each of the field names in the "formula tool" and checking the length, if a file would be having more fields.

 

Regards,
Akash

Updated workflow avoids hardcoding field headers by transposing the data
