Hi @Inactive User ,

 

Yes, given you want to keep them all separate there would be no benefit in using a dynamic input, you would simply need separate input tools for each sheet.

 

When you use your input tool and select your Excel file, it will then prompt you for which sheet you want:

You just need to do this for each sheet in the workbook.

 

I hope this helps,

 

M.

Hi @mceleavey,

Hey @Inactive User,

If you want to get the sheet names dynamically you can use the input data tool and just import the sheet names:

Then you can use the dynamic sheet names and pass them to separate dynamic inputs:

Any questions or issues please ask :)
HTH!
