Hi,

I have several .xlsx files stored in a certain path in my computer.

These files have a fixed format, but there are new files will be added later on weekly.

So I do the power query work for each file separately and then combine queries from all files later on.

I saw your video when getting files from a sharepoint folder.

Can I do so with regular .xlsx files from a regular folder?

So the files being added I want it to be added to the work and just refresh the data to get it into results.

Thanks

Hi MG,

Yes, you can do this with Excel files saved on your PC or a network server in the same way. i.e. Get Files > From Folder > browser to your folder path.

I did tried but it is not clickable unless I got it wrong.

Did not you mean to click on the icon itself? Avatar

It is not clickable.
