Hello Paulo,
I think there is no actual solution for your need. Isn't it possible to ensure that the sheet has every time the same name?

The best thing I could have is to have the sheet name to be PREFIXYYYYMMDD, with PREFIX a constant and YYYYMMDD a constant but could be another day (in the past) than Today.
Maybe I could try with YYYYMMDD with today's date then if error yesterday, then if error the day before....
But not sure it's easy to do

Hello Paulo,
depending on your java knowledge you can have a look into the generated source. The workbook is accessed with jxl.Workbook. Take a look into the API http://docjar.com/docs/api/jxl/Workbook.html you will find a method getSheetNames().
I'm not sure, but it may be possible access the data in a tJavaFlex and extract the sheet-names.

Shong, the request is to use the first sheet of the Excel workbook (not the one named "shhet1") should I post a feature request ?

Try this:
1) define a context variable: context.firstSheetName
2) Use a tJava_1 component
3) The code inside the tJava_1 should be:

jxl.Workbook workbook = jxl.Workbook.getWorkbook(new java.io.File("C:/Documents and Settings/petrutz/My Documents/TOD-in.xls"));
java.lang.String firstSheetName = new java.lang.String(workbook.getSheetNames());
context.firstSheetName=firstSheetName;
workbook.close();
4) Use a tFileInputExcel
in the SheetName field you should use: context.firstSheetName
5) Use a tLogRow
activate the logging here
6) connect tJava to tFileInputExel with a onSubjobOK to the tFileInputExcel
7) connect the tFileInputExcel to the tLogRow with the main.
Hope it will help.
