Hi @dave-csc I have preview output for my Excel input transform; it is showing 
an error, and it is not even recognizing the input path from the previous 
transform. I will attach the screenshot of the error. 
I understand Preview rows don't work; also, get sheetnames and get fields are 
not working when we are passing the filepath from previous transform

I want to pass the input path to my excel input component dynamically, is there 
any other way in Hop??
