HOW TO SELECT SPECIFIC SHEETS IN A WORKBOOK AND COMBINE THEM INTO ONE EXCEL FILE

Hi, I'm new to Alteryx and I would like to know how do I select specific sheets in a workbook and combine them into one excel file? For example I have a file with 6 sheets, 1st sheet was named SUMMARY then the next sheets were named DETAILS 1, DETAILS 2, DETAILS 3, DETAILS 4 and DETAILS 5. I need to combine DETAILS 1 to DETAILS 5 sheet into one excel file (excluding the SUMMARY sheet). How do I do that? Thanks heaps!

Hi @CathrinaJay 

 

Take a look at the attached workflow

I am using the input tool to get the names of the sheets inside of the file

The filter tool to filter only the sheets that i want to read

And the dynamic input to union them all

Hi @CathrinaJay 

 

One thing you need to do prior importing the data's from all 5 sheets are , the Schema should be same.

 

i.e, the order of the columns in all 5 sheets should be same.

 

Or the data's will be merged but it will read in different column names matching to the first input sheet.

 

Many thanks
