Error message - loading data from folder
- Anonymous6 years ago
Hi enablejulian ,
From what I can see apart from being a different name, they also have a slightly different structure.
This is the step where you most likely have this error (you should have something similar in the template created by PBI):
Table1_Table = Source{[Item="Sheet1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data]This works Ok, so I changed it to:
Source{[Item="Sheet12",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data]This is the error that I get:
Expression.Error: The key didn't match any rows in the table. Details: Key= Item=Sheet12 Kind=Sheet Table=[Table]Looks familiar? 😁
Somewhere in the Query list, you should have something like this. This is the bits that are created by PBI automatically when you do folder import:
On the Sample File try changing the step that is usually called Navigation and looks like this:
Roll the number in {} from 0 to 2 and check what is happening with the Transform Sample File table, which is the template for the function that PBI generates to import files. If it brakes, you know will find causes it.
If you have to have different names for tabs in different files (e.g. for csv it is usually defaulting to the file name), let me know there is a way to tweak the code to adapt for it.
Kind regards,
JB
Hi, sorry for writing here after four years, but I think this can help another person like me. Today, I had the same issue, and I solved it when I realized that my Excel files had exactly the same column structure, but... the sheets did not have the same names. So I edited my files and wrote the same sheet name for both files, opened Power Query again, and now I can combine the files without any problems.
I hope this will be helpful for someone.
