Nice challenge! Somehow my Alteryx doesn't support input .xls format so I have to change them to the .xlsx format in order to impot them all.

I did this one a whole heck of a lot differently than most others, but it also seems relatively straightforward too.

I used a directory apphended with the sheet and cell I wanted to pull, configured the dynamic input to replace the file name, sheet name, and pass the sheet name through. Then CrossTab'ed, renamed columns, and done!
