Hi,

then use this

QUALIFY *;

UNQUALIFY [Ref. No];

UNQUALIFY Date;

For i = 0 to NoOfRows('Inquiry') - 1

    LET vSheet    =  peek('SheetName', $(i), 'Inquiry');

Inq:

concatenate

LOAD ////dont use * here list all field instead

sample_field1,

sample_field2,

[Date_Inquiry] as Date

FROM $(vRAWPath1)Marketing Inquiry.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is $(vSheet));

next i

UNQUALIFY *;

drop field SheetNo;

]
;

Test:
LOAD * INLINE [

Rename fields using FieldMap;
