Hello, I am looking for the simplest way to read in all the excel sheets in a workbook. I am trying to keep this workflow as simple as possible because I am a beginner in Alteryx.

Hi @nmccarthy82 ,

 

Attached is an example showing how to get that done the easiest way possible.

1. You need to use an input data tool to get all sheets

2. Use a formula to clean the file name and then concatenate with sheet name

3. Use a dynamic input to read all at once.

 

Let me know if that works for you.

Best,

Fernando V.

hi @DanielDRU,

 

before you output the data you can use a tool like the find and replace to match on a unique identifier and append any columns you need to that data. Hope this helps!
