If you provide the file it will be more helpful.

You may need to use Power Query in this case

Hi @Abhishek Tripathi
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question here.

To read nested .xlsx files in Azure Data Factory, you need to make sure that all the files have the same structure and sheet name. Then, you can use a "wildcard path" to point to the files in your dataset. This tells Azure Data Factory to read all the files that match the pattern you specify.

You can use the "Excel format" as a source in the following connectors: Amazon S3, Amazon S3 Compatible Storage, Azure Blob, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Azure Files, File System, FTP, Google Cloud Storage, HDFS, Oracle Cloud Storage, and SFTP.
