Hi ,

Is it possible to load data from multiple excel files ... if they are are stored in folders

for example 

Foldername: Orders_2011 

Subfolders: Orders_Jan.......Upto.........Orders_Dec

Files in Orders_Jan are Stored like

Orders_01012011

.

.

.

Orders_01302011.

If i have to load each file individually its a big manual Process . Appreciate any help on this

Thanks

hi Monica,

u can load the files in same folders by putting Order *.xls in ur from statement if u want to pick all excel file that are starting with name Order.

or if u want to fetch all teh fiels in the folder Order_2011 thn u need to write following in from statement:

Try this,

Concatenate

LOAD *

FROM

D:\Orders_2011\Orders_Jan.......Upto.........Orders_Dec\*.txt

(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq);

Concatenate helps you to append the missing fields of next loading files.
