Hi  Alteryx Community,

I have one question related to Dynamic input tool - while using multiple input files,  how can i skip the connected input file if file is not available.
Note : even though connected file is not available Alteryx workflow should  run without fail, Thanks.

Hi @Jaganmohan ,

 

you can read list of files present in the directory and filter out for the files which are not available. Post filtering you can read the data in the files which exist in the path.
