Expand tables where first column has a differenct name

[Anonymous]

I have a table with two columns (see Query1 in PBXI file in the link below). I use the first column to filter the second columns of tables. Once I filter my table I want to expand the sleceted tables. The problem is that each table has a differet name for the first column so when I expand it I only get the first tables data in the first column. How can I make all the first columns have the same name before expanding so that my data is formated properly?

You can add a custom column with a formula like this to rename all the first columns.

= Table.RenameColumns([all], {Table.ColumnNames([all]){0}, "New Name"})

Hi @Anonymous 

Can you include the files that the query accesses? The steps are not visible

Hi @AlB I added the folder that I use as the data source.
