Im new to elasticsearch and i have **100's of excel/csv** sheets that need to be imported to elasticsearch.  
All of these files has a Primary column name as "Mobile Number" and other different attributes.

1. I need to import all of these files to Elastisearch
2. **after import i need to setup a searchh term including data of multiple files**

i have already setup elasticsearch , logstash & Kibana in my Macbook and still couldn't find a way to import multiple files.
