Best practices for connecting multiple data sources (Excel)

i have multiple excel files with different sheets as different source, what i'm doing is get data for the 1st sheet. then get data for the 2nd sheet and so on. this will make a lot of connections to the same files, is there an easy way for this? like connect to all files first then just select the sheets for different query

@markcabantog , You can add all the sheets in one go, that would be better, you use recent sources to add more
