Are all of the input sheets in the same format?  

 

If any sheet has a different format, try the batch macro in this post:

Hi Chris,

 

My all files are same.. I have attached the workflow with all the files for reference.

In the Directory tool, if all files in the folder are XLSX, no changes are needed.  If any file is not XLSX, change the file spec to *.xlsx

 

In the Dynamic Input tool, change the Action field to "Change Entire File Path"
