Hi, Qiu,

thanks a lot..

could you please elaborate little bit.. so i used BUD in the process that i use to save the file into the shared drive

 

once the file is written to the shared drive i want to read the file one more time in the same workflow then union the dataset with another dataset (the another dataset is also excel file) then finally save the output with a different name into some other location (shared drive only but diff sub folder)

when i try to  use the dynamic input tool   after the file is written into the shared drive - i see some error message; 

is this approach will get me what i want - i need to use the file that is saved into the shared drive in the same workflow then Union with some other data then again save the output excel file to the shared drive with a different name

 

any suggestions...

Hi @Raj_007 

 

You have to set the file path that to Dynamic Input tool.

its not working - my workflow has queries and some input files and finally i create the output file - the dynamic tool connecting from the block until done is not letting me use it as i did not specify the file name...

Hi @Raj_007 

 

Before Dynamic Input tool, you have to insert Formula tool and make File path field that you specified the output file path at Output Data tool.
