@larsh69,

 

Based on my test, I hid two rows in one of my excel files. However, the two hidden ones were still imported into desktop.

 

So could you please check whether any rows are hidden in your tables or not. If the issue still occurs, please share the problem files here.

Hi @larsh69,

 @Anonymous suggestion should solve your issue.

But if you have different types of files and need to combine them, check out this blog.

@larsh69,

Based on my test, I imported 19 excel files from one folder successfully by the following steps:

1. Get data -> Folder -> enter the folder path - > load
2. Edit queries -> click the icon on the right side of Content column and choose the sheet we need to combine files.

After that, we can get the table that we need:

Could you please tell me what is the type of your file and how you expand the data from all the files?

Lydia
