Unstructured Stage - Sheet Names to skip

Post by jerome_rajan »

Hi,

What is the syntax for specifying the "Sheet names to skip" where there are multiple sheets that need to be skipped and have spaces in their names?

Enclose the sheetnames in a single quote with semicolon delimiter.

Code: Select all

Sheet names to skip: 'Sheet 3;Sheet 5'

Thanks for the reply, rkashyap.

The semicolon delimiter didn't work. The comma delimiter worked though. Also, each sheet had to be individually enclosed in pairs of single quotes. Must have something to do with the way our environments are configured.

Code: Select all

'Sheet 3','Sheet 5'

Pretty standard way to handle 'strings with spaces in them'. :wink:

Yes, you are right. Syntax given in previous post works ok on 9.12 (Solaris).
