    Hi  DomantasK ,

     

    When you connect to Sharepoint, there will be a Combine operation, select this:

    This will form a Transform File in Power Query, which contains some functions that can expand and append all files in the folder, but the limitation is that the field requirements in the two files are the same, otherwise an error will occur

    Refer to

    Power Query SharePoint folder connector - Power Query | Microsoft Learn

     

    When you publish the report to service, you could create a flow with Power Automate.

    Add a new item to the SharePoint --> the flow will be triggered --> then will do the "Referesh dataset" action for Power BI.
