How do you connect to Excel files that contain target figures? The solu.on
should involve minimum manual work when new Excel files are created.
A) Connect to the files with Folder connector and use the Combine Binaries
func.onality.

func.onality.

Desktop to append the rowss from three external tables with customer data

in the format that is best fit for visualiza.ons.
