Extract sheets to separate excel workbook

Hi - 

 

I am trying to extract the sheets as separate excel workbook from one excel file. Any help is appreciated.

 

Ex:  I have sheets of US, UK, Africa & India in one excel file. I have to make these sheets as separate excel files/workbooks.

You have a lot, like dozens, of options to accomplish this.

 

Easy Option 1:

Use 4 output tools

 

Easy Option 2:

Union the 4 inputs, create a field with the desired output file name.  Use a single output tool with "take file name from field".

Hi YEM - 

 

Thanks but, I have 20+ sheet in the input. Creating output for every sheet is kind of thinkable. I tried to create a Batch macro which helps me. Thanks again!

Hi @VMR ,

 

I've attached a couple of tools and a working example for you.

The first tool reads in all the tab names from your selected folder location, adds them to a filepath, then the second loads them in dynamically and unions them together.

You can filter the ones you want, and you can isolate each like for like sheet.

 

Hope this helps.
