Output 2 sheets of input file as it is in the output file (Contains images etc.)

Hey all,

 

I have a workflow of reconciliation and updation of certain data sets extracted from multiple input files and sheets using dynamic input.

 

Everything is working fine, except that 1 main input file has 2 sheets which contain images, links etc. and I want to output those 2 sheets as it is in final output which is created in process.

 

The final output is created using table, formula, union, layout and render tool of 5 different processes to write in 5 different sheets. All the sheets contain only data tables.

 

Now I want 2 more sheets to be created in that output which is the 2 sheets of one of the input files and created as it is. (Containing images, links etc.)

 

Thanks

If you import the Sheets, you lose the images and hyperlinks.  The BLOB tools can't import a Sheet, only an entire file.

 

So you may be forced to use Python.  See this example to copy a sheet from one Excel file to another:

Then you may need to fix the order of the sheet names.  A Google search "python reorder sheets in excel" mentions:  for an existing workbook, you can only use openpyxl
