Hi @amy87leo_05 ,

yes, we can help, but not without any data examples, examples of the challenges, where you're stuck and what you would like to see.

If you could provide this, we'll be able to help.

Agreed with @mceleavey - show us what's going on! 

 

If you need a place to start, there are a lot of example on the Community for how to read in sheet names from multiple files (How To: Import Multiple Excel Sheets or a Specific Excel Range into a Workflow), then read in the data one by one with a batch macro (The Ultimate Input Data Flowchart)
