Hi,
I would like to get only one query with a Specific Name when I upload a folder that has many Excel files but with same format.
For the moment I use UNION to combine the files but I don't want to see every single Excel files in Fields, just the combined one.
How can be done ?
Thanks and regards.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@cristianml,
After you use Folder connector in Power BI Desktop to import data, you can right-click on the Content column and choose "Remove Other columns" in Query Editor of Power BI Desktop, then expand the Content column to combine data of all excel files in a single query.

Lydia

Thanks Lydia,
Now I can manage this. The only thing i didn't know is that Folder option only works for excel files with same tab name.
Thanks and regards !
By default it expects the same sheet name. But you can edit the code to refer to the relative sheet. Eg Source{0}[Data] will select the first sheet.
