I need to combine several tables from Azure storage dynamically into one table. I have for instance the following dynamically created tables:
userstable564736
userstable595743
userstable434534
othertable434342
othertable342856
I want to combine all tables which start with "userstable" into a single table. All these user tables have same schema. I don't know the full names of them upfront.
I tried this:
let
Source = AzureStorage.Tables("https://storageaccount.table.core.windows.net"),
userstables = List.Select(Source, Text.StartsWith([Name],"userstable")),
combined = Table.Combine(userstables)
in
combined
But I get error message
Expression.Error: There is an unknown identifier. Did you use the [field] shorthand for a _[field] outside of an 'each' expression?
Can somebody help?

let
Source = AzureStorage.Tables("https://storageaccount.table.core.windows.net"),
usertables = Table.SelectRows(Source, each Text.StartsWith([Name], "userstable")),
combined= Table.Combine(usertables[Data])
in
combined
