You can load from multiple excel files using the wildcard character *.

If all sheets are the same except the first three rows, then you can skip those three rows by setting the header to 3 lines.

You can create a new field using the FileName() function so you can keep track of which record came from which file.

MyExcelData:

LOAD *, FileName() as SourceFile

FROM

(ooxml, embedded labels, header is 3 lines,table is Sheet1);

If you also need the information from the first three lines you probably need to load that data in a separate table: Since you did not post an excel file I can't help you with that part.
