Correct - it needs to know which sheets to read in from the Excel files. If there's a consistent sheet name, you could add it to the end of the Full Path with a Formula for example: [Full Path]+"|||Sheet1"

 

If there are multiple sheets, I would recommend using a Dynamic Input tool beforehand to read in a List of Sheet Names from all of the files, append the sheet names like above, and then the batch should work!

Here is a thread I helped with before that details it to an extent: Identify sheet names in multiple excel files - Alteryx Community
