Hi All,

Thanks.......all helpful guys.

It has been discussed in here, several times, so a search in the forum, would probably have helped you 🙂

Have a look at Rob Wunderlich's cookbook. There is a nice example on how to load multiple sheets from Excel.

If all the sheet is name with a number, like year or month eg. 201003,201004,201005 etc, it is also possible, to do a loop, using "For each".

Thanks Martin.

I went through the blog. But i am still struggling with it. I have a workbook with many sheets which are having identical fields. My excel is 2007. That is it is not BIFF but "ooxml ". I don't know if this only is making me struggling. I tried the blog suggested way but with vain. Can you please help me further.

Thanks and regards,

Can you post an example of your file - then I will try and see if I can come up with a solution on this.

Hi,

Look at the sample attachment(Excel). It has three sheets, but in reality it may contain many sheets which would not necessarily be named as Sheet1, Sheet2,....

Now i need all those sheet loaded at one go(dynamically). Hope this would let you understand better.

Thanks and regards,

Hi

Have a look at the attached file - remember to change the ODBC connection. Furthermore, you need to install a driver that accepts Excel 2007
