Hi @mali130 ,

 

This is possible if the tab is named after a date or if the table has a date field.

 Go to the Power Query editor, in the Source step, the [Name] column is the name of each workbook, and the [Data] column is the data table, and the metadata will be appended to a master table when expanded consistently.

If there is a date column, you can refresh the data and add a filter in the formula with the date equal to the maximum date to make the chart show the latest data.
