# Selected files table

The **Selected files** table shows files or directories to use as source locations for input. This table is populated by specifying **File or directory**, then by clicking **Add**. The Microsoft Excel Inputstep tries to connect to the specified file or directory when you click **Add** to include it into the table.

The table contains the following columns:

| Column                 | Description                                                       |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **File/Directory**     | The source location indicated by clicking **Add**                 |
| **Wildcard (RegExp)**  | Wildcards as specified in **Regular expression**                  |
| **Exclude wildcard**   | Excluded wildcards as specified in **Exclude regular expression** |
| **Required**           | Required source location for input                                |
| **Include subfolders** | Whether subfolders are included within the source location        |

Click **Delete**to remove a source from the table. Click **Edit**to remove a source from the table and return it back to the **File or directory** option.

Use **Show filename(s)** to display the file names of the sources successfully connected to the Microsoft Excel Input step.
