Input multiple files and format before unioning

Hi community, 

 

I am currently trying to develop the following workflow:

 

  1. Imports all excel files from a given folder
  2. Formats *each* file before unioning them
  3. Then performs some other actions on these files

I have tried using a wildcard and have had a go at batch macros, but I haven't quite succeeded - could you give me a hand here?

 

Thank you very much for your help!

Batch macros do seem the way to go, here's a link to the Knowledge Base article on Batch Macros...
