Importing .slsx where second sheet continues data

Ciaran

Hi guys

 

New Alteryx user here. Was hesitant to ask this as I have been browsing looking for hep on this issue and see how many issues are similar but really couldn't find a solution.

 

I have a spreadsheet where the first sheet contains headers and the the rows of data. this sheet comes named output. Then the second sheet has a blank row and then the data continues, this sheet and following sheets are Sheet 1, Sheet 2 etc.

 

Output

Header 1Header 2Header 3
AA56fgh
BB67vbn
CC78dfg

 

Sheet 1

   
DD89rty
EE90uio
FF01qwe

 

I have been trying to use a dynamic input to import them but what is happening is that I get an warning that there are multiple fields named the same and also that there is a different field name than the first in the set.

 

Alteryx outputs a file that skips that blank row (which I want) but then skips the first row of the data in Sheet 1 and every subsequent sheet.

 

Appreciate any help.

Hi Ciaran,

 

If you can mock up an example of how that file is structured, I think it would make it easier for people to help. 

 

Thanks,

Hi @Ciaran,

 

Here is a start:

In the dynamic input I have selected the sheet 2 with empty row.
