Dynamic input with multiple excel

Hi All,

 

I have multiple excel file with tab name name but in same structure, and wanna input them

 

e.g.

1/ daily sales report_20230606, tab name: sales_20230606

2/ daily sales report_20230607, tab name: sales_20230607

3/ daily sales report_20230608, tab name: sales_20230608

4/ daily sales report_20230609, tab name: sales_20230609

 

*All of them are in same structure*

 

Can anyone please advise how to input them?

I knew that we could use "*" wildcard to input them if the file name structure is same,

however the tab name is different, and wildcard is not applicable to selected range

 

Thanks!
