Hi @Ekta,

It's not as straightforward as you would think. You need to grab the full filename and path from the input tools (one for each sheet that you're importing). Easy enough, enable the "Output File Name as Field" to be "Full Path"

Then, you can use a Formula tool to replace the original file name in that "Full Path" field (Book 1 in your example) with whatever you want to name each new file. I used Output concatenated with the Employee name field.

Finally, an Output tool can be configured to output to different sheets or files, as long as you check the "Take File/Table Name From Field" option. Choose to Change the Entire File Path, and use the FileName field. To remove that field from the output, uncheck Keep Field in Output. Also a good idea to set up the output tool to Overwrite Sheet (Drop) for #3 Output Options

Hope that helps. You can use the attached workflow, just replace the inputs with your own files.

Cheers!

I took a different approach, but it was a good challenge

Thanks for the solution @estherb47

I was able to use part of your model to achieve part of my results. There is one thing that I am missing though

Is it possible to create a summary worksheet based off the multiple worksheets? Attached is the output from the model you created with few columns that I manually added and the summary sheet.

In nutshell, I would like to add a sheet and provide summary based off of the two sheets? Thanks much!

Thanks,
