Hello all - newbie here so be gentle!

Ok, here is the situation. I have a number of files with weekly sales information:

Sales1.xls
Sales2.xls
Sales3.xls

Each of these have identical data sets and I have succeeded in creating a foreach loop container..lovely stuff!

However, each of these weekly reports have slightly different sheet names:

Sales1.xls >>> Wk1
Sales2.xls >>> Wk2
Sales3.xls >>> Wk3

Now this poses a problem with the forloop each container.

I attempted to created a variable based on the worksheet name and change the excel file so that it looks at the table with varible and selected that worksheet variable.

However, when I attempt to run this, it runs through the first file, executes that data flow but then fails when it encounters the second file.

Has anyone got any ideas how I can sort this and/or a step by step procedure to complete this action?

Apologies for being thick and any help gratefully received.
