Excel input default to "List of Sheet Names" and not prompt user?

Hi, is there a way I can default the input for an excel spreadsheet to "List of Sheet Names" and not ask the user for a selection?  

I've only found this article so far on this:  https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Interface-Tool-File-Browse-Automatical...

 

but that doesn't help me.  Since that doesn't work on Alteryx Server.  

I want to make this as easy as possible for the end user.

 

Thanks

Did you try this part from @Thableaus ?

I have confirmed that it does indeed not ask locally but it does on the Server so to @BenMoss point it's a user education point

Yes, that is in the link I posted.  It doesn't work on Alteryx gallery.  

I should be more clear.  I just want the user to upload a sheet.  I don't want it to ask them what sheet to select.  I want to select "List of Sheet Names" and move on.

@ISUGraber did you ever get to the bottom of this at all? I am having the same problem
