Specifying path to a zipped folder and reading all the .xlsx files compressed

AbhishekMehta

Hi All, 

I'm trying to specify the path of a .zip file through a Text Box in an Alteryx app and want to consolidate all the .xlsx files that are inside that zipped folder. (all of these .xlsx files have the same schema). I also would like to have a file name column in the consolidated data to identify the source. 

ZIP file path: C:\Users\abcd\Desktop\AlteryxFiles\Input.zip

Files inside: A.xlsx, B.xlsx

I would really appreciate all the help here.

Thanks
