Hi,

 

 

How do you join 5 sheets from 1 excel file? I thought I could do a formula to pull the sheets out and then join them?

 

I have 5 sheets Trans, Ref note, Trans date, account, sub

Hi @Hi2023 

 

First you need to input the sheet names in the dynamic tool.

Then you need to used Dynamic input tool to connect all 5 sheets.

 

Many thanks

One thing you need to do prior importing the data's from all 5 sheets are , the Schema should be same.

 

i.e, the order of the columns in all 5 sheets should be same.

 

Or the data's will be merged but it will read in different column names matching to the first input sheet.

 

Many thanks
