Hello all,
I'm using the Microsoft Exchange Online option to import data into PBI.
I get a CSV file everyday into my outlook account. I have coonected my account to Power bi through "Microsoft Exchange Online" so that I can just refresh the report to update with the most recent file and data.
File name that I receie daily is in the form:
<File Name><Date>
Since each file has a date, each filename becomes unique. And I can't group the files irrespective of the dates.
So, is there a way to use just the file name in the subject(without date) as a filter to import the data into Power bi.
Looking forward to your help.
