Hey @Manage_Bnb have you tried to do it without the loop? If you have 2 items, n8n will automatically run each step for each item and you don’t need a loop.

Yes, I tried using without the loop. n8n will auto combine the extracted file. This happened because this files have the same data structure.

Already resolve this. I still used the loop but I added a code where it updates the list of files to be extracted. Before, it extracts from the same file because I’m not telling n8n that this file’s data is already extracted. I added code node that will tell this to n8n and it worked
