Error while combining and transforming excel files

Hi everyone,

I was trying to combine and transform multiple excel files which had names as: SalesTarget_2015, SalesTarget_2016, SalesTarget_2017, SalesTarget_2018. I wanted the result to look like this:

 

However, I was left with this:

 

(It said there had been an error in the "Transform File" query that made the rows from SalesTarget_2016, 2017 and 2018 woulddn't show up)

And the "Transform File" code was like this:

 

let
Source = (Parameter1) => let
Source = Excel.Workbook(Parameter1, null, true),
SalesTarget_2015.csv_Sheet = Source{[Item="SalesTarget_2015.csv",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(SalesTarget_2015.csv_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars=true])
in
#"Promoted Headers"
in
Source

 

Is there anyway I can change it to get my desired result? 

  • Hi Turtledge ,

     

    You will need to check your source data. The load sequence is in order, which means the source data was loading up to the "SalesTarget_2015.xlsx", SalesPersonID 12, then encountered an error. It is likely the format is not aligned

      Thank you for the advice. I checked the source data and change the files' sheet names, then it worked perfectly
