Hello everyone!
I have a Sharepoint-Folder that contains for every week an Excel File.
This files have specific name like "SalesEDT202001012200"
Now I would like to extract/ source data just from the newest file.
How is this possible if there is always a new file with a new name?
Best Regards

Hi, @joshua1990
You can import from a folder, and then query the code like this:
let
Source = Folder.Files("D:\temp"),
splCol = Table.SplitColumn(
Source,
"Name",
each {_, DateTime.From(
Number.ToText(
Number.From(Text.BetweenDelimiters(_,"SalesEDT",".xlsx")),
"0000-00-00 00:00"
)
)
},
{"Name", "DateTime"}
),
filter = Table.SelectRows(splCol, let latest = List.Max(splCol[DateTime]) in each [DateTime] = latest)
in
filter
I am following the example file name you provided to split the time text into real time values to form a new column, and finally by filtering the latest time to get the final file to be processed
If my code solves your problem, please mark it as a solution!

When you use GET DATA from Power Query, use Files From Folder.
Apply the following filter to get the latest file like below.
