Hello,
I have an excel file Weekly Finance ddmmmyy.xlxs in a folder (C:\Data). This excel file has a number of worksheets (A, B, C, Mapping, Dates-Actual...) that I need to import, transform and load into Power BI. I'm not looking to combine the worksheets from the onset; simply transform each sheet individually then apend as a new consolidated query and create When I've tried this as a file it works perfectly well but given that this is a file whose name will change based on the date, I can't be updating the steps in PQ for it to work.
Any suggestions or examples of a similar solution would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi @Tini-Bee ,
try to parameterize the file name and use references for multiple access.

Hi @Tini-Bee,
I'd like to suggest you use DateTime.LocalNow function to extract current system DateTime and use these concatenate with your connection string. (it will dynamic changes when system data changes)
Connection= "C:\Data\Weekly Finance " & Date.ToText(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),"ddMMMyy")&".xlxs"
