Hello, I'm building a query with thousands of txt files from a folder on Sharepoint. For some reason some of the files are not coming in. If I do them individually they come in. Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many data sources can be queried at once? Or why random files are not pulling in. From my C drive I can import over 7,000 text files. Thanks, SLacombe

hi, @SLacombe
There is a similar post for you refer to:
I would like to know why this happens. I just had the same happen to me with CSV files. 2 showed up, but there are 7 in our library. The Sharepoint site (a group) has 4,200 or so files, so it isn't the 5,000 file limit.
The "fix" is to change the source line that Power Query generates. Get rid of the [ApiVersion = 15] at the end.
That will allow it to pull everything in there, even if there are more than 5,000 files, but I wish I knew what that APIVersion was really doing. I thought it was just limiting it to 5,000 files, but it is obviously doing more. When it is in place, my file count that is returned is around 3,100 files, so not sure why the other 1,100 or so are being excluded.
