Join multiple sheets from one excel file - header on only 1 sheet

Hi Community!

 

I have the attached sample document which contains 3 sheets. Headers only exist on Sheet1. Any idea how I can union them all assuming the schema will always be the same?

 

I attempted to create a macro (attached). In a new workflow, I then input the file, attach the macro and browse. Error below.

I encourage you to use these macros.

Thanks @gabrielvilella. This outputs my data in a weird way, is that what you're getting too?

The macro is set up to union based on field name, you can change that based on field position on the Interface Designer for the second macro.

This seems to be ignoring row 1 in sheet2 and 3. Missing IDs 3 and 5. Any idea why?

You need to enable the option that the first row contains data on the input data tool in last macro.

This whole approach is very different than what I was doing. Thank you very much.
