Hi, i am a power querry novice and i have a lot of .xls files to transform. All colums have the same meaning exept one that changes meaning. What is the best way to tackle this? The data is the same.

Hi @Didrik ,

1. You can use custom formulas in the Power Query editor to deal with changing column names.

2. If the position of the column is constant, you can change the column type by position.
