Help in extracting data from execl

I have a excel file which will get updated with new columns every week in 4 sheets  st1 st2 st3 and st4

 

each sheet has same data format but different numbers 

 

 

 

from each sheet i want to extract  data from column A which has tickets  and  out of remaining columns from B onwards we have dates but I want to select latest dates added in the file.

 

after the dates there are some empty columns and then some working in few columns which I want to ignore.

 

from each column with selected dates I want to exclude value 0 .

 

the filtered data without 0 should be append in another sheet which should have tickets and data without 0 for the latest 4 dates which gets included in the file.

 

i just need new data.

 

trying to share the how the Excel file looks like.

excel file has 4 sheets st1 st2 st3 st4

 

from each sheet i want to read data from row 2

 

from row2 I want data from col A and 4 new columns.

 

I will filter each new column to exclude 0 and then append to a new sheet col A and filtered column 

 

this will be repeated for all 4 new columns

 

 

row two has column A2 with identifiers and starting from B2 we have dates then some empty columns after that there is data which I don't want to include.

 

next from each new 4   column  added which has date I want to exclude data showing 0 for the identifier.

 

 

after that i  to append the data in a new sheet

 

sample  sheet data is shown below

 

 columns A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6

Row1 1       1x 2x 3x 4x 5x 6x 

Row 2.     identifier 2023071 2023072 2023073 2023074 2023075

row4  x 1 2 3 4 5 

row5 b 1 2 3 4 0 

row6  c 4 0 6 7 5

 

manual steps which I want to automate

 

filter on row 2

 

filter on latest  new 4 column  with dates

 

I will filter one date column and uncheck 0

 

paste the identifier column and filtered date column data  to another sheet.

 

repeat for remaining 3 columns 

 

there are blank columns after new dates and then some data which is not required.

 

the file gets updated weekly so I want to repeat this with new dates which gets added.

 

how to do this in alteryx?

 

Thank you

if you can attach a sample of the worksheet it will be easier to create a workflow
