How to define multiple schema's for Excell-sheet with multiple sheets

I want to add my Excell-sheet to metadata.

When I go to the wizard it only creates 1 Schema. Is it possible to create a schema per sheet (with different info) you have in your excell?

You can create different metadata for different sheet 

 

There is an option to select the sheet while creating metadata

Hi,

that I have done, but at the end I only have 1 schema for the excell-sheet.
I don't see any possibility to add another one afterwards.

I guess you are overwriting an existing schema with the new worksheet structure.

 

Try to give them different names.

Eg. Create new excel metadata as sheet1 --> select the worksheet that you want

Duplicate that metadata as sheet2 --> edit it to select the worksheet you want for the next one and so on...

 

Confirm if this works.

 

I for example had one sheet with country names and one with state names in the same excel file & was able to create 2 metadata schema(s).

So you have to create multiple metadata for 1 single Excell-sheet?

It's not that you can have the behaviour like for a DB-connection, where you can have 1 metadata for the DB-connection, and multiple schema's for the different tables?

That is correct.
