Importing Multiple Files in a specific order

Dear Community,

I want to import selected files from various folders.  These files are xlsx or xls. Inside these files there are many sheets and particularly I want to import Sheet 1 ( All the time)  & Sheet 3 (not all the time). Sheet 1 and Sheet 3 has similar lines count.

 

My requirement is 

1. I want Alteryx to read these selected files which are saved in this particular location.

2. Alteryx should read column of my choice from Sheet 3 and add it to Sheet 1. 

3. Output Sheet 1 only

 

At present I add these files manually and it takes lots of time.  Can I have a solution (Macro or otherwise) in which I give the file location in a spreadsheet as below and Alteryx read it manually the file location and add a selected column from Sheet 3 to Sheet 1 if Sheet 3 is present. I am new to Alteryx; your help is appreciated.

Hi @learnalteryx 

 

Can you provide a few sample files?  Also any workflow you may have created so far?
