    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I am trying to do a very similar thing. I want to be able to copy all rows from selected file (uploaded to SharePoint twice a day) and copy them to the Master tracker. Would you be able to help me understand how you are creating variables and fetching data from columns in the selected file to transfer them to another file?
