Hi @anjani_priya

  1. Use Directory.GetFiles (where all the path of excel file will be stores)
  2. Use For each loop
    use Excel Application Scope and inside that use Read Range activity
  3. Add another Excel Application Scope outside the first one (but still inside the For Each loop).
  4. use the Write Range activity
  5. Set the DataTable variable from the Read Range activity as the input for the Write Range activity

Hope this helps

should I use 21 copy paste activities ?

@anjani_priya

No Only one…it is in side a for each file in folder actrivity…you need to provide the folder path where the files are present

cheers

Hi @anjani_priya

You can use this Method for each file in a folder in that use filter to get all excel files, replace the folder path with your folder path

Use read range to store the data of excel sheet into the datatable


Use another excel file which will add the new sheet with file name & write the datatable to newly added sheet using insert sheet & write datatable to excel activity

how to mention all the excel files

it should print as 21 sheets in single excel file

@anjani_priya

You can create a Array of string called ExcelFilePath

Use Assign Activity

ExcelFilePath=Directory.GetFile(“Here you have to mention your folder path where all the excel file is stored”)

For having all excel file in one file but in different sheet

Create a counter int variable (Initial value should be 1)
after using write range activity
Increase counter by 1

Like this

What the code does is it iterate through all the excel files one by one saves the data in datatable & it creates the new sheet every time in our output file. I think this what you wanted right.?

I want it in 21 different sheets

Yes it creates did you run the code.? Replace the file path with your file path where you have stored the excle. & also replace the output file path where you want to create the main excel with 21 sheets.

the sheet names are different how to mention the sheet names in read range

what about the sheet names?
the sheet names are different for every excel file

@anjani_priya

create a variable called ArraySheet where you will store the all excel file sheet name
After the excel application scope
Use another for each
in for each use read range activity to iterate every sheet

can you explain how to mention the source and destination?of sheets

can you send the sample code

Add this code this will give you sheet name also, This will work on excel having different sheet names also
