Question

How do I find and copy the ID of each Excel sheet for use with the Formatter?

hello

I am using Formatter to send form entries to different excel sheets on one excel document.

It requires inputting each Excel sheet ID, but i cant work out how to find the ID of each sheet, does anyone know how to find these?
I can see them in Zapier by selecting a worksheet, but it doesnt let me copy and paste them, only view them.
These IDs look like this: {8G1110123-5RTG-E547-1CD78GF451WD123A}

Thanks

Hi @hairyhobo 

Good question.

Try opening the Excel file then looking for the Excel ID in the browser URL.

Then you may have to manually type the Excel IDs as seen in the Zap step field dropdown list.

You may be able to use OCR (optical character recognition) such as via ChatGPT.
