Hi @VeljkoP98 ,

Can you please share a pbix or some dummy data that keep the raw data structure with expected results? It should help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.

Have you checked the 'Advanced Editor' in power query? I know for csv files this needs to be manually updated when new columns are added or removed, not sure about excel.

It seems that it reads the columns from Excel even after last column that has data, it reads other columns even thou they are empty
