Combine files option not working

leonardohaut_0-1601562400465.png

 

Hi all, good afternoon

I am having challenges to combine files in powerbi, even though file structure is identifical, the option is disabled.
I can't add all files in one folder, and creating all queries for 100 files would take forever.
Anyone faced this challenge or know a workaround?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Are you using Folder connector? According to your screenshot, Append Queries feature should work for you.

 

Best Regards,

Jay

Hi, Yes, however for some reason I   cannot link the folder but only individual files from Sharepoint,  that's  why I have linked individual files as source.

Checking online I saw that it might requires Office365, so asking this internally for my company.
