Challenge #105: Think Like a CSE… Tools are missing!

[BenMoss]

I went with using Alteryx to amend Alteryx.

Actually had this issue today whilst working on the community!

Challenge Completed

Opened the Workflow after replacing the Marco in Notepad and copyied the origninal marco code into the workflow.

As stated in the error message, we have to :
Create a folder named "Macro" in current directory a.k.a. next to the "Reporting_Workflow.yxmd" file. Inside the "Macro" folder, we put "AstronomyPictureOfTheDay.yxmc" and issue fixed :) Please see attached: the generated PDF report.

As of the original values, if I understood the issue correctly, just open the files with a text editor to appreciate the XML structure and get the following :
<Data>
<r>
<c>https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod</c>
<c>today</c>
<c>False</c>
<c>DEMO_KEY</c>
</r>
</Data>

I went for the delete and replace method. Really liked the video solution to learn a few new cute ways of fixing this common problem though.

I went with replacing the broken macro with the one I had downloaded on the canvas. This didn't allow me to preserve the API though, so I ended up opening the file in notepad and solving it that way.

Useful trick to know!

To solve,  I clicked on the configuration on the missing tool, inserted the macro back into the workflow, and manually changed the settings back to the original configuration.

I learned a few new tricks watching the video. Thanks @MikeSp!

Clicking on the dodgy macro brought up this window with all the information needed

Went for the easy route, just changed the reference
