I first used the record ID tool, but that doesn't work since you need to restart at 1 for a new file name. Within the Multi-Row Formula, this can be quickly done by grouping by FileName. Helps simplify the expression.

Had to change the file format to xlsx because I kept getting an error trying to open the xls. I thought I would be able to use the sql to bring back the fields, but it looks like I can only bring in sheet names and named ranges. All in all it looks like my solution is similar to others.
