Hi everyone.

I am trying to import Excel data into a Qlik Cube.

The files have landed in this directory via an ETL process from an email.
It is possible that the data changes several times a day.

I need certain format specifications for the import.

The file name is predefined up to 'at'.

Question 1:
How can I format everything including the extension in lower case?

 

Question 2:
How can I rename the Excel sheet name to e.g. Sheet 1?

 

Thanks in advance
Thomas

Renaming files is rather easy

See the screenshots





Regarding renaming the sheet we have a special action for it

Hi Mike,

Renaming works 1A
Thank you very much.

I still have a question about the Rename Sheet action.
How do I get the old sheet name in Excel?

There is no variable in the file metadata.

 

 


Thanks in advance
Thomas

The software assumes that that sheet name is always the the same.

I suspect that your situation may differ, for example, you might have multiple files where each file contains a unique sheet name that you need to standardize.

Is this the case?

Is it always just one sheet?
