Thank you for your answer. So would it be better to duplicate the files and create facts and dimensions tables or create calculated tables using DAX?

Hey LUNM !
ETL is preferrable to be done in Power Query always. Of course sometimes we create a DAX table, but its for pontual cases. 😃

Thank you marcelsmaglhaes !
The problem I have now is it takes a long time to load the Excel files everytime and then create a list with each element that I want to create a dimension table with.
