Directory Tool - Several Excel Files from one folder

Hi, 

 

how can I automate the process of pulling several Excel files from one folder into one workflow with the following criteria:

 

Name of Excel file is always

2021-01-01_ABC

2021-01-02_DEF

2021-01-03_GHI

...etc.

 

The columns of the associated Excel files always follow the same structure:,

 

CustomerQuantityAmountCustomer QuantityAmount
XY210WZ12

2547

XY23132WZ1

232

XY123WZ2

52

 

The output should look like this:

 

DateQuantity XYAmount XYQuantity WZAmount WZ
2021-01-01210122547
2021-01-02231321232
2021-01-03123252
...usw.    

 

 

By using the Discovery Tool I should automatically pull the files from the folder (see "FileName"). However, I cannot proceed afterwards (or I am probably too stupid to do so)...
