Analytic App: Input excel file static sheet and range

wonka1234

Hi,

 

Is there a way to import a file and choose the range and sheet or statically store the range somewhere?

I have the browse file but I would like to have the sheet + range stay the same.

 

How can I do this?

 

Thanks

@wonka1234 if you define your sheet and range in your Input Data tool as follows:

 

Set sheet and range.png

 

And then in your Action tool between your File Browse and Input Data tool, make sure it's just updating the actual file path (tick Replace a Specific String and delete everything after .xlsx):

 

Set sheet and range - action.png

 

Should bring in the same range from other input files:

How do you get on with that?
