Hi,
I have a number of .txt files that are loaded to Power BI to a combined table.
All files have identical columns. The filename is the same, except for the year:
Transactions 2000
Transactions 2001
....
Transactions 2019
How can i load data only from Transactions 2019 (current year) without reloading all previous years into
the combined table?

So this sort of functionality is known as incremental refresh. Unfortunately this functionality is only available at the moment on the Power BI Service in Premium Capacities see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-premium-incremental-refresh
You can't do this in Power BI Desktop or with just a Pro license on a shared capacity on PowerBI.com
