Hello @Yogish ,

 

this is doable. I recommend that you invest some time to get familiar with Analytical Apps here:

When users can select sheets, users can other type files.

But they can only select Excel files, the user can't select the sheet.

See attached for an example. The first set of interface tools above the Input tool will allow a user to select a file to run the workflow with. The format is limited to only excel files.

 

I'm a bit unclear as to your second requirement, so I built two scenarios. The first one uses a folder browse for the output. This allows a user to select the location of the output file, but will not change the sheet name. The second option allows a user to enter a sheet name to be used for the output, but the location will remain as is. You could technically combine the two to first allow a user to select an output location, and then enter the sheet name. The format output would be an excel file still. 

 

Hope this helps!
