Hi2023

How do I combine 4 sheets from 1 excel report together but account_details and subject_details sheet only want the account# and # listed once in joined excel report since it is listed in both these sheets?

 

thanks

Here's how I did it:

I brought in 2 input tools, 1 for the Account details sheet, 1 for the Subject details sheet, and removed the "extra" field in the Join itself. I have attached a sample workflow.

If you just click Yes on that message it should open it. I saved a new one that is not an app.
