find and import google sheets

Hi

 

I have hundreds of google sheets and excel files in my google drive and I want to import a sheet called 'SUMMARY' into Alteryx so I can collate the data - is it even possible?!

 

Thanks

Yes, it's possible to import data from Google Sheets into Alteryx. Alteryx provides an Google Sheets Input tool that can be used to import data from a Google Sheet directly into Alteryx for further processing. You can select the 'SUMMARY' sheet from the list of available sheets in your Google Drive account and import it into Alteryx.

That's great - thank you!

 

Actually, the google sheets input has been deprecated - which is fine actually, as my files all appear to be XLSX anyway - so I installed the google drive tool.

 

The files are in subdirectories - sometimes multiple directories down - is there a way to do a search??

ok - I've progressed - my version of Alteryx needed to be updated (I was hitting errors).

 

Having tried lots of ways to try to find my files I am now hitting the following error:

Any ideas on how to fix?

 

I appear to be able to import a single file with a specific sheet name just fine, but not multiple using a wildcard and a specific sheet name - any ideas?
