Hi,

 

How do i read a specific sheet on an XLSB file? I have multiple XLSB files in a directory/folder and what to read a specific sheet from those files in alteryx (eg Sheet Name = "ABC") and output data from all xlsb files in the folder with sheet name ABC in a union.

 

Is this possible on Alteryx?

Hi @clarrock 

 

Since you know the sheet name, you can configure the Input Data tool to use wild cards "*".

This will read the Dates sheet from all the .xlsb files in the directory.  Change "Dates" to what is required.
