Hi, @adluayon 

 

1- If your sheets with schema are different, then the dynamic input tool maybe can't normal work for this case.

2- If only have different fields, the dynamic input tool maybe output never with your want.

3- If you use batch macro to process it , all is done.

@adluayon , Here is my workflow which will do the magic. I will read all the sheets from different excels with different schemas.  Please accept my solution if it helped. Thanks!!
