@kapa.ai How I can give the tab names in Excel file formate when creating Microsoft Sharepoint source in Airbyte OSS?

Airbyte’s Microsoft SharePoint source does not document any option to: - Select a specific Excel tab/sheet by name, or - Rename streams based on Excel tab names (like the Google Sheets connector can). [[Microsoft SharePoint source](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/microsoft-sharepoint); [Google Sheets stream overrides](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/google-sheets#stream-name-overrides-rename-sheetstream-names)] For Microsoft SharePoint, the documented configuration focuses on: - Search scope and folder path - File type and format (CSV, Parquet, Avro, JSONL) - Globs (path patterns) to choose which files to sync, not which Excel tabs inside a file. [[Microsoft SharePoint setup](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/microsoft-sharepoint#step-2-set-up-the-microsoft-sharepoint-connector-in-airbyte); [Path patterns](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/microsoft-sharepoint#path-patterns)] Also, Excel is not listed as a supported file format for the Microsoft SharePoint source (only CSV, Parquet, Avro, JSONL). [[Microsoft SharePoint setup](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/microsoft-sharepoint); [SharePoint file format settings](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/microsoft-sharepoint#file-format-settings)] Given the available documentation, there is no supported way to configure Excel tab names when creating a Microsoft SharePoint source in Airbyte OSS. If you must work with Excel, you’d need to convert those files (e.g., to CSV) before SharePoint/Airbyte sees them, or use a different connector that supports Excel/tab handling (like the generic File source, but that doesn’t read from SharePoint directly). [[File source](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/file)]

A message from kapa.ai
No. Based on the current documentation, the Microsoft SharePoint source (both standard and Enterprise) only supports these file formats for streams: - CSV - Parquet - Avro - JSONL [[SharePoint source setup](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/microsoft-sharepoint#step-2-set-up-the-microsoft-sharepoint-connector-in-airbyte); [SharePoint Enterprise setup](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/enterprise-connectors/source-sharepoint-enterprise#step-2-set-up-the-microsoft-sharepoint-connector-in-airbyte)] Excel (
.xlsx
/
.xls
) is not listed as a supported stream format.
