Steps 3 and 4 are highly dependent upon the interface where you’re getting the files, so this is something you can experiment with using the web recorder to determine how to navigate the menus. For information on fine-tuning your code, I recommend the academy.uipath.com courses.

For 5, I can give a direct suggestion. When you get the files, if they all have the same columns, you can read the files one by one into a datatable, read each file with a For Each activity, and then use the Merge Datatable activity to put all of the rows from all Excel files in the same table. If you need all of this information exported to one Excel document, use Write Range to output your new datatable.
