Different columns order
- 9 years ago
As you said, those different queries have same columns. You only need to care abouth underlying data instead of the rendering part in pivot table during data retrieval. If the underlying data included in those files is under same structure, you should be able to combine them into a single query via Power Query. Please refer to blog below:

Thanks for reply.
Sorry, forget about two queries. To clarify, say, I have one query for Balance Sheet, which downloads data from folder. Inside this folder, most of the files have identical columns, but there are some with different columns, as shown in the sample screenshot (i.e. missing entity or new entity). The problem is that I use the entity names and codes from the first file. And if I use, say, Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa, and Australia, and in another file Asia is missing, then data moves and North America data columns will contain data from that file on what actually is South America.
I hope I explained the situation.
As far as I understood from the link you provided, the solution proposed there is not quite applicable to my case.
Best regards,
