Creating a workflow using excel cell names to input names into sheets1 to sheets10

I am trying to create a workflow using cells A1 to A10 and having those names in those cells to automate the process of having to input these names into each sheet name. 

For example, cell A1 contains Argentina, and I don't want to manually have to type it into sheet1 as it's name. Does anyone have a good idea what I can do?

Hi @xspunky,

 

You can bring in the sheet name by selecting the full path option in option 5 in the configuration window, this will allow you to bring in the sheet name. Parse out the sheet name and then you can use this column as the sheet name, then in the output tool shown below, you can replace the file name with the column you created in order to output the data to a specific sheet name.
