Interesting Challenge.

I suppose there are different factor's to whether your workflow pulls the correct values, including what version of Alteryx you have, and whether the source files are not corrupt, amongst other considerations.

Probably the toughest challenge for me so far. The sneaky bit is to just completely ignore the dynamic input tool and build a "better version" yourself with the batch macro. Had to peek into the solutions for the part about selecting the file type via dropdown id in the input tool.

Solved! I spent forever trying to figure out what was wrong with my macro because I kept only getting a single value out. For some reason, the trick was adding a Select after the macro, and then suddenly all my values appeared...? I don't understand what's up with that, but am glad I got there eventually.
