I am trying to script an import of three worksheets in the same Excel file. The 3 geographical regions worksheets are not structured the same, i.e. field name rows are not in the same place and are named differently.

The script runs but stops to ask which worksheet to process.

How do I create a variable/parameter in the script for it to proceed sequentially from worksheet 1-3 without stopping?

Thanks

AfAIK, you cannot use a variable or a parameter to select the worksheet or the named range to import. It must be hard-coded into the Import Records[] script step. If the source file has 3 worksheets, your script needs to include 3 separate Import Records[] steps, each addressing a specific worksheet.

Note that you must use an actual file to set this up. Once you have selected the worksheet and saved the selection within the sep, you can add a variable to the File Path List to select the file.

 

What would the edited File Path List look like, i.e. syntax?

Thanks!

Here's what it looks like as is. Steps 2, 3, and 4 are supposed to address each worksheet.

It would look something like this:

where AnActualFile.xslx is the file you used to set up the step and select the worksheet. The file itself can be deleted afterwards, but the reference needs to stay.

Of course, if the path is a constant as in your example, then the variable is not needed.

 

 

But how is the script directed to subsequent worksheets after processing the initial. There doesn't seem to be any differentiator in your response.

The script is stopping for each worksheet to ask which one.

When you set up the script step, you should see this dialog after selecting an actual file that has multiple worksheets:
