Combine multiple excel files

taymadar

Hi experts,

There are several excel files in a folder, all the files have a single sheet the schema is same but the sheet names are different for each file.
The ask is to import all the data and combine to a single output file along with the file name and sheet name in two separate columns in the output file.

I used a Directory tool to import all the files using wild card then used a batch macro to combine all the files, however I am not sure how to get file name and sheet name in two separate columns in the output file.
