You can use a macro to get the sheet names:

VB Macro:

function GetSheetNames(pExcelFile)

    set ExApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

    ExApp.Visible = False

    set ExWrk = ExApp.Workbooks.Open(pExcelFile)

    s = ""

    for i = 1 to ExWrk.Sheets.Count

        if i = ExWrk.Sheets.Count then

            s = s + "'" + ExWrk.Sheets(i).Name + "'"

        else

            s = s + "'" + ExWrk.Sheets(i).Name + "',"

        end if

    next

    ExWrk.Close

    ExApp.Quit

    GetSheetNames=s

end function

Script:


FOR Each file in FileList('$(Filepath)\*.xlsx');

    let sheetNames=GetSheetNames('$(file)');

   

    FOR Each sheetName in $(sheetNames)

        If Wildmatch('$(sheetName)', 'Region*','Area*') Then

            Table:

            Load *

            From $(file)(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [$(sheetName)]);

        end if

    next

Hi Sasi,

Have you tried to add "IF" statement like I said yesterday? Looks like you haven't try.. Let me try for you.

**Just change the file path
FOR EACH file in FileList('Filepath\*.xlsx');
ODBC CONNECT32 TO [Excel Files;DBQ=$(file)];

tables:
SQLtables;
DISCONNECT;

FOR i = 0 to NoOfRows('tables')-1
Let vSheetName = Replace(Peek('TABLE_NAME', $(i), 'tables'),chr(39),'');

If(WildMatch(vSheetName,'*$')) Then
LET vSheetName = Replace(Replace(Peek('TABLE_NAME', $(i), 'tables'),'$',''),chr(39),'');

If Wildmatch(vSheetName, 'Region*','Area*') Then
Table:
Load *
From $(file)(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [$(vSheetName)]);
ENDIF

ENDIF
NEXT i

Drop table tables;
Next file

Hi Nagaraj,

can please let me know any alternative other than using ODBC connection.

Because in our server we don't have an excel driver and so.
