Hi @vjnvinod,

 

There is no direct way to load multiple files from a single folder as separate queries without combing into desktop.

 

You may need to load the three excel files one by one into desktop. Alternatively, as a workaround, you can load them together then split the single table into three tables via duplicating and filtering. For details, please see: Splitting a table into two based on column value
