Reading excel file with multiple tabs

Questions
1

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying to read an excel file with multiple tabs, each name of the tab goes like “(Name of Month) ORIGINAL” and “(Name of the month) Dtls”.

I’m using a n8n node to charge the file into the server, right now I have to manually split the tabs into separate files and then charge them into the trigger.

Any idea on how to charge the file just once and then read each tab by separate.

Thanks in advance

Hi @JoseMelendez1103,

Welcome to the community :four_leaf_clover:
The Form Trigger node itself doesn’t process the Excel file contents. It receives the file as binary data and passes it along in the workflow. So you’ll have to process the data to convert them to separate Excel files.
But this would be a nice feature request which you can post in the Feature Requests - n8n Community section :slight_smile:
