Dear community,

 

i would lilke to ask how can we ask the alteryx to read all the data in the excel file instead of just one row?

 

Screenshot below is the original data

However, the out put show differently as per screenshot below:It only show one column only. May i know if the tools can read all the data available in the excel?

Hey @SH_94,

You definitely can do this, I have a macro on the gallery which can do this Password Protected Excel Input Tool - Alteryx Community:

Sadly couldn't test on your file as the directory tool is linked to your PC 

Any questions or issues please ask :)
HTH!

I choose the file input and select to connect a file as per screeshot below but it does not work for me.

Do you know the reason behind this?

Once you have downloaded it just bring it into the workflow like this:

Then make sure to pass your file location and password:

Hi @IraWatt ,

@SH_94 what you have open is the macro file:

To bring it onto as a macro tool right click the canvas in a different workflow-> click insert-> macro-> browse -> then find the password macro file
