Can we use a variable to mention the path in the %run command

To compile the Python scripts in Azure notebooks, we are using the magic command %run.

The first parameter for this command is the notebook path, is it possible to mention that path in a variable (we have to construct this path dynamically during the run) and use it?

myNotebookPath = '/Shared/myNotebook'

%run myNotebookPath

@Thushar R​ I don't think it is possible to pass the notebook path in a variable and run it with a %run.

I believe you can make use of notebook workflows. Notebook workflows are a complement to 

%run

Thanks, to my understanding and experience use of variable is not possible with %run, Thanks for your update
