Excel reader node question (load config menu necessary?)

Hello Knime Community,

This is my first post here after many times of referencing this forum for help. :wave:

I was wondering if it is necessary to reload the Configure… menu (after the initial configuration has been set) for the Excel Reader node prior to executing every time. I was trained by a coworker of mine to do that “just to be sure” it loads the new data prior to executing.

I’ve been doing this for over a year but I’m all about saving a few clicks if possible.

Thank you for the help on this (and the many times I’ve referenced this past year).

Hello @R_Richards

Welcome to the Forum!
I was trained in the same way :slight_smile: and has similar thoughts. To reduce the number of clicks I am reseting the workflow before saving. Then, workflow works with updated data when re-open and executed. Works fine so far.
Happy KNIMEing!
