Hi2023

I did a Batch Macro to pull 8 excel reports tpgether and Those reports have 4 tabs within. Now I need to join those 4 tabs together using  the control#. How do I do a filter on sheet name after -it only give me column name now.

 

thanks

@Hi2023 Could you perhaps alter your macro so that a full path is added to each row of data? From there you should be able to parse out the sheet name

In your Input Data tool, you can select "Output File Name as Field" which will include the full path as a field. From there you can parse out the sheet name with a Formula Tool.

I used the Directory Tool Input?
