When you have multiple sheets with the same column headers in excel, rather than bring in one sheet at a time through the input tool in Alteryx you can use the dynamic input tool to bring all sheets into Alteryx at one go.
There are 5 sheets in this file for five states with the same column headers in all sheets.
- To get all the sheet names use the input tool in Alteryx and select the import only the list of sheet names under Select Excel Input tab.
- Bring in the Dynamic Input tool and using the Edit button in the configuration window select the file and for the Field select Sheet Names.
- In the select Excel input window for the Dynamic Input tool select the Select a sheet option.
- Run the workflow to see the output of the Dynamic Input tool.
There were 7 rows in each sheet therefore from 5 sheets there 35 records in the output.
