Hi Chandan,

One way of bringing the sheet name is;

For each a in 'SH1','SH2','SH3'

Load X, Y, Z, $(a) as SheetName from abc.xls (biff, embedded labels, table is $(a)$)

Hi,

One more option would be connecting Qlikview to excel via ODBC. Once you created a ODBC connection to excel then you can pull 'n' number of sheets from a excel with out specifying the sheet names any where in qlikview and you can get the name of the sheets as field information in qlikview.

For more details have a look at the below link.
