File selection 

Lesedauer: < 1 min

There are three ways to select an Excel file. 

Path and Filename Here you can select the file directly. The file name can contain variables (see 13.3). The file extension does not have to be specified in the file name.   
User When the trigger is executed, a dialogue for opening or saving the file is opened and the file is selected via this. Ein Bild, das Text enthält.

Automatisch generierte Beschreibung 
     
Newest file in folder With this option, you set only one directory and when the trigger is executed, the newest file in this folder is always selected automatically. The date of modification is decisive for the selection of the newest file.   This option is especially useful in combination with the “New file in folder” condition to be able to read in new files automatically (see 13.4.2.4).
