How to skip a excel file if he doesn't have the "good sheet name"

Hello,

I did that code : 

LET vParentFolderPath = 'lib://04_D/Production/';

// Récupérer la liste des dossiers dans le chemin parent
FOR Each vFolder in DirList('$(vParentFolderPath)*')
Trace 'La première trace est ' $(vFolder);
// LET vFolderPath = '$(vParentFolderPath)$(vFolder)/';
// Trace $(vFolderPath);

// Liste tous les fichiers Excel dans le dossier
FOR Each vFile in FileList('$(vFolder)/*.xlsx')

Trace 'La deuxième trace est ' $(vFile);
// Chargez le contenu du fichier Excel dans une table temporaire
TempTable:
LOAD *
FROM [$(vFile)]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [RENDU]);
NEXT
NEXT

 

It works fine but the problem is that sometimes, I have excel file who has no sheet " RENDU"

So I try to find a solution to skip these file if they don't have the sheet "RENDU"

 

Somemone has an idea about how I can skip a file excel if he has not the sheet "RENDU" ?

 

Thanks !

Hi
One Option will be move this data to ODBC so you can control more on the data.

If this is not the case Set errormode = 0 s o he will ignore the error and continue the execution

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/May2023/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Scripting/ErrorVariables/...

 

you can add only in this piece of code the error mode and turn on again like

LET vParentFolderPath = 'lib://04_D/Production/';

// Récupérer la liste des dossiers dans le chemin parent
FOR Each vFolder in DirList('$(vParentFolderPath)*')
Trace 'La première trace est ' $(vFolder);
// LET vFolderPath = '$(vParentFolderPath)$(vFolder)/';
// Trace $(vFolderPath);

//Disable error mode to avoid stop execution because of excel with no  RENDU sheet

SET ErrorMode =0 ; 

// Liste tous les fichiers Excel dans le dossier
FOR Each vFile in FileList('$(vFolder)/*.xlsx')

Trace 'La deuxième trace est ' $(vFile);
// Chargez le contenu du fichier Excel dans une table temporaire
TempTable:
LOAD *
FROM [$(vFile)]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [RENDU]);
NEXT
NEXT

//Enable again the errormode

ErrorMode =1;

Thanks it works, 

 

I 'm trying to add a new variable at my code for additionnal folder.

to explain :

my folder "Production" contains a lot of folder and these lot of folder contains xlsx that I got with that code.

But sometimes I have this : 

my folder "Production" contains a lot of folder and these lot of folder contains a lot of folders too who contains xlsx.

 

Thanks

i don't think you will have an solution for that  only if crate a name conversion for you excel files and use as base like 
Sales_2021.xls
then in your code you search for Sales*.xls
