Input Tool - Excel - List of Sheet Names (Error in multiple file due to data size)

Hi All,

 

Issue: 

 

When input <List of Sheet Names>, Alteryx will assign data type and size accordingly.

 

Example: 

FileSheet NameData TypeSize
Book1MTD 매출 조회V_WString9
Book2MTD 매출 (KT&G)V_WString13

 

It become a problem, when input with multiple files with wildcard (Input file Book*xlsx).

It will be skipped due to "has a different schema than the 1st file in the set and will be skipped"

 

Solution:

Very simple, always same data type and size, like in formula tool. V_Wstring, with size 1073741823.
