    Hi Rakshnaj

    We have readexcelsheet function. It does not have any sheet count limitation but if you have more sheets it takes time to return results and lag is easily visible.

    However, it has parameters as below
    1. sheetNumber: from which sheet system should read excel
    2. startRow: The row to start reading from where 0 is the first row
    3. numberOfColumns: The number of columns to read. Leave blank (or use 0) to auto-detect the number of columns.
    4. password: Optional: The Excel documents password

    I don't think so.  If your use case is to just count the number of sheets then you need to look for some other plugin.
