Combine data from multiple excel file into one
- 9 years ago
Hello Vishesh,
I've created an example that you can download from my onedrive.
You will find images with the steps (1 to 4), a folder with both excel files, and the pbix file 😄
If you experience any more dificulties, please tell.

Salvador.
Hello Visesh,
In order to select a folder as data source, follow these steps. By doing that, if every excel in that folder has the same structure, you wouldnt need to use append :D

Hello Salvador,
First of all thank you for your resoponse.
I tried using your method and for some reason it is not working, maybe I am not doing the write thing.
I am trying to combine data from these 2 files into a single table.
For some reason, I am unable to attach my excel files in here, so I am pasting the content here.
This is my first file named Book1.xlsx
Customer Sales Quantity Unit Price Unit Cost Product A 1 2 0.5 0.2 Audio A 2 4 0.5 0.2 Video A 3 6 0.5 0.2 Camera A 4 5 0.8 0.2 Video B 5 5 1 0.5 Audio B 6 3 2 1 Camera B 7 7 1 0.5 Audio B 8 4 2 1 Audio B 8 4 2 1 Camera This is my second file named Book2.xlsx
Customer Sales Quantity Unit Price Unit Cost Product A 9 3 3 0.2 Audio A 10 5 2 0.2 Video A 10 2 5 0.2 Camera A 12 6 2 0.2 Video B 14 7 2 0.5 Audio B 14 7 2 1 Camera B 15 5 3 0.5 Audio B 16 4 4 1 Audio B 18 9 2 1 Camera A 20 5 4 2 Audio I am tryingt to combine data from these 2 files into a single file, but the steps you suggested in order to AVOID append queries, isn't working.
It would be great if you could please help me out with this.
Thank you,

Hi Salvador,
I was wondering if you can also share these steps to me? I tried accessing the folder but the file is no longer available.
Thank YOU!
