Reading data from multiple tabs in an excel input file

I have a requirement in which I want to bring in the data from 4-5 different tabs in an excel file before performing any scrubbing. The header names are same in all the tabs. How can I accomplish this instead of bringing in input tool for each tab?

Thank you. Is there any existing solution that I can look into and configure/create macro accordingly?

You can  use batch macro to achieve this

You can try the "Directory.yxzp" workflow referenced in this post by @LordNeilLord:

The workflow consists of two batch batch macros. The first macro extracts the sheet names. The second macro inputs the files. 


Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

 

Thanks,
