How can you use the "R" tool to take details from 3 separate Excel files and combine?

Here is our required process. We are stuck on steps 3 and 4. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Step 1 - Upload 3 password protected files to folder.
Step 2 - Process password to open files inside Alteryx.
Step 3 - Use R tool to take the details from the 3 files and combine into a single file and add one column to capture the file name on each line item.
Step 4 - Output as a single Excel file with a password.

 

We have installed the R Package and still run into issues, perhaps with the code (see attached).

 

Please help!
