    Are these files the same format?

     

    You could use:
    Get Data > "Folder"

     

    Then, click on the filter icon next to file name and do a filter "Text Filter" > "Contains".

    This can be a parameter or hard coded value.

     

    You can click the double down arrow to combine all files.

     

    There's not a great way to load individually. One hacky way, you could make a blank query, then add the step:

    Source = try #"Your Folder Query Name"{0}[Content] otherwise null

     

    then do the same:

    Source = try #"Your Folder Query Name"{1}[Content] otherwise null

     

    repeat and increase the number by 1 (it is 0 indexed, so 0 references the first item in the list and so on). Make enough queries that there will always be more than items in the list.
