Hello

So I put in place a workflow where an Excel file is uploaded, processed and I get my numbers.  
And I need to do that on several separated Excel files.  
Can I put in place an automation of the upload of each file?  
As well, my files are in a folder in BOX. But when I do the connection, I cannot chose from which folder.  
thanks for the help

Hey Mathieu, if you can have the data updated in the same Google sheet, that would work. If you want to use Box or Dropbox, you need the file updated without creating a new file - that way the import will pull in the new data each time by pulling in the same file ID each time - since the data in that file was updated.
