How to get excel workbook name and sheet name

Hi all,

I have to build a table from several excel workbooks . Each of them have several sheets. The name of the workbook contanis the date of the evnts and the name of the sheet contanis the name of the company. 

I should want to extract these two fieds and store them in each line of my table. I suppose this has to be done during the "get data" process. But I have no idea of how to program that.

Thank you for your help.

Regards

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can try to get data from "Folder":

eee3.PNG[Source.Name] column is file name; [Name]column is sheet name.
