Hi,

I have the values of an attribute which corresponds to the names of sheets of an excel file. In other words, the attribute of interest has the values attrib1, attrib2, ..., attribn that also corresponds to the sheet tab names of another excel file.

What I would like to do is to be able to dynamically read the sheet tab names of the excel file based on the values attrib1, attrib2, ... attribn that varies per feature. Those values are unique per feature so I won't need to read the same excel sheet twice.

Any ideas?

Thanks

If you use a feature reader to read the excel file, you can use the attribute containing your sheet names as the feature type to read

HI @egomm

 

Not quite sure that I understand what you are saying.

 

Please could you elborate? May be wiith an example.

 

 

 

Looking for an alternative, is there a way to read the sheet name as parameter in an excel reader?

 

I would like to use a workspace runner and pass the attribute value (which corresponds to the sheet name) as a parameter to the second workspace used for reading the excel file.

A simplified example

 

 

Is there any way to read dynamically any excel file and that the header are simply the column name A, B, C, D...

Through a Reader I can read any Excel file but the problem is that it always takes the first row as the header.

Thank you!
