Hi @BRRLL99 

 

You could try changing the Python to this:

 

df_master = pd.DataFrame()

input_data = Alteryx.read("#1")

for i in range(len(input_data['FullPath'])):
    full_name = input_data['FullPath'][i]
    print(full_name)

    pwd = input_data['excel_password'][i]

    xl_app = w3c.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application')
    xl_wb = xl_app.Workbooks.Open(full_name, False, True, None, pwd)

    sheet = xl_wb.Worksheets('Main')  # Access only the 'Main' tab
    content = sheet.UsedRange.Value

    df = pd.DataFrame(list(content))

    new_header = df.iloc[0]
    df = df[1:]
    df.columns = new_header

    df_master = df_master.append(df, ignore_index=True)

    xl_wb.Close(SaveChanges=0)
    del xl_wb
    xl_app.Quit()

Alteryx.write(df_master, 1)
