Since you did not include your workflow, what type of workflow it is, or which version of OS X/macOS you're using, I can only offer an example of how you can set a variable to use for the Where: in a New Text Fileaction in an Automatorworkflow.
I have a Temp folder, which I created, in the root the Macintosh HD, and in this folder I created two plain text files, named Filename1.txt and Filename2.txt, each of which contain a single line of text, 'The name of this file is Filename1.txt' and 'The name of this file is Filename2.txt', respectively.
The following Automatorworkflow works with selectedFinder items in Finder's frontmost window, or the Desktop as appropriate if no other individual Finder windows are frontmost with a selection, and using a Run AppleScriptaction sets a variable to the parent folder of the first item selected to be used as the Where: in a New Text Fileaction. and creates a file named Combined.txt.
Note in the image below, there is a break in the link between the Set Value of Variableaction and what is the second Get Selected Finders Itemaction. This disconnect is created by selecting Ignore this action's input under Options in the second Get Selected Finders Itemaction.
The variable
inputParentFolder
was dragged and dropped from the Variable section at the bottom of the workflow pane into the Where: in the New Text Fileaction.As you can see in the image below, the workflow completed successfully combining the content of the two selected files in Finder into a new file named Combined.txt in the same folder as the selected files.

I am trying to combine the contents of selected text files in Finder into 1 text file, using the Services context menu and control-clicking on .txt files.
I have started a new Service Workflow in Automator, added the steps I think should work (see attached workflow file) and saved the file.
Dos Combine Text Files
The problem is that the Services menu doesn't pop up when I have text files selected in Finder. It pops up when I have PDF files selected in Finder, but that's no help as the output file doesn't work.
Any ideas how to correct it so that it can work with selected text files?
Thanks in advance.
