Need help bringing in 12 sheets from 1 Excel file with same schema / 2 sheets diff schema

Hi community! 

 

I am struggling with this file right now and could really use some help. I have an Excel file that has 14 total tabs. I only need 12 of them (all the same schema), BUT of the other tabs that I do not need in it are a different schema, so my dynamic input skips all 12 of my files and I can't get it to work. I cannot delete the other 2 tabs because the 12 tabs I need reply on those tabs via formulas. I tried filtering the sheet names right after my original input (<List of sheet names>), but that did not work either. 

 

In each of the 12 tabs, I only need the range A93-J130 (Row 93 being the column headers). 

 

Can someone please mock up a small workflow that takes this in and spits out the right stuff?

 

I need tabs J, F, M, A, M, J, JU, AU, SE, O, N, D. I do not need the "Total" or "Year" tabs to be brought into the workflow.

@slaurel, could you please confirm the configuration of your dynamic input tool? I just tried a mockup and it did work for me.

@slaurel you can change it according to your requirements
1 use input tool to get all the sheet names from your file
2 use the macro
this will work

@abe_ibanez That brings in my data all the exact same though. Each sheet has different numbers. It is copying the Jan data for every month.

Please share the configuration of the Modify SQL Query within the dynamic input tool.

I normally use the replace string and use the incoming field to replace the whole sheet name.
