Here is the code I have. Is there a way to look into all the files/folders in folderName? I'm assuming I'll use a nested for loop to iterate through each file/folder in folderName.

import os
import sys
import pandas as pd
import xlrd
import shutil
import numpy

#set the destination folder to variable
destination = 'G:\\path\\to\\destination\\'

matrix = []
matrix.append([])
matrix.append([])

#client folder name in index 0 of matrix, client performance folder in index 1 of matrix
for folderName in os.listdir(destination):
    matrix[0].append(folderName) #client folder name

if i got you right you need to go recursively through all the subfolders ...

For this purpose you should use the os.walk function like this :

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(): 
    #do something  like  matrix[0].append(folderName) #client folder name  

root will be taken as "current", as long as it is exausted and then will be changed with the next one from the dirs-list

Good luck :)

Remark:

os.listdir takes the content only of the current folder and doesn't go deeper in the structure of subfolders

Documentation and examples for os.walk provided here so really no need to repeat.
