This script line sets a variable to relative folder path.

let vFolderConfig = '..\..\Config\' ;

Later in the script I load a spreadsheet using a dollar expansion of the variable.

LOAD

  USAGE,

  APPLICATION,

  VALUE,

  VARIABLE

FROM $(vFolderConfig)Variables.xlsx  (ooxml, embedded labels, table is Variables)

WHERE APPLICATION = 'DASH' ;

;

Best Regards,    Bill

The part of Bill's post to remember is the '..\..\' part which means look down the releative path from where you are at that point.

A relative path is a way to specify the location of a directory relative to another directory.  For example, suppose your data is in C:\Sample\Data and your dashboard is in C:\Sample\Dashboards.  The absolute path for the data would be C:\Sample\Data.  The relative path from C:\Sample\Dashboards to C:\Sample\Data would be ..\Data.
