Input multiple excel files

I built workflow that works for one excel file, but want to know if there is any way I can use this workflow for multiple excel files.

 

The files are in a folder and have different names (e.g. XYZ, ABC, ACO...). Each file has 3 tabs (sheets) and the sheet names are consistent (Tab A, Tab B, and Tab C). To run the workflow, I only need to use the Tab A (I do not need Tab B and Tab C).

 

I tried the wildcard input, but it didn't work since it combines the multiple sheets into one sheet.

 

 

The workflow I built looks like this.

The final output should look like this: (each file goes through the workflow and become one line - it works for one file if I input one file.)

 

For example,

 

Input ABC file -> go through the workflow -> create row 2 in the final output

Input XYZ file -> go through the workflow -> create row 3 in the final output

and so on for all the files in the folder.

I don't understand it, but it worked beautitfully. So long as all you excel workbooks are formatted correctly you're good.
