"no sheet specified" error when a sheet has been specified (Dynamic Input)

Hi All, 

 

I'm get a " no sheet specified" error in Dynamic Input tool when a sheet has actually been specified.  This was working before lunch, but when I came back, I got the error.  I didn't make any changes. 

 

What am I missing? 

 

This is driving me nuts.

Can you try:

File name.xlsx|||Sheet1

HI
For some reason that didn't work out either. However I tried to delete the Dynamic Input tool and read it again and that for some reason seemed to fix the issue.

I added  formula tool between the directory tool and the dynamic input witch concatenated the sheet name FullPath = [FullPath]+'|||sheetName'

Hi,

 

Just wondered if you ever got a fix for this? I have exactly the same issue, I have tried all of the suggested fixes and still get the error "No sheet specified". Really frustrating as if I remove all the other sheets in the work book so the one I need is the only one there, it works no problem?

This worked for me; however, it slowed the process down.  Added about 20% more to the run time.

Please add formula tool EXACTLY as below between directory and dynamic input tool: 

 

It should work!
