I have an excel file that needs to be refreshed before the data is to be brought into the Alteryx Workflow.
I have created a macro within the excel file that refreshes the data when the file is opened, saves the changes and closes the file. A .cmd file launches the excel file that is held on the network share.
What I need Alteryx to do is run the .cmd file, wait 15 minutes and then input the data for the workflow.
I cannot find anyway to have Alteryx run this type of combination, the run command tool insists on having inputs and outputs as opposed to just running a command and the wait/parallel block do not let me set a time frame before the module runs.
I'm sure something as simple as my requirements must be possible, just can't work out how to do it with the tool set.
