Get the data from excel when Tab names change dynamically

Hi,

I'm getting data through 'Sharepoint Folder' and would like to get the data from Tab#1 Tab#2 such with this order not with tab name as the names are dynamic over time. 

 

e.g. 2023 will be changing to 2024,,,2025 

Q3 will be changing to Q4,,,and again Q1,,,Q2

 

So hope to get the data with just order like first tab, second tab,,,no matter how the names change. 

Not just for multiple sheets, multiple Tabs from multiple sheets.

let
Source = SharePoint.Contents("https://nokia.sharepoint.com/sites/korea-pmo-pbi-data-repository", [ApiVersion = 15]),
#"Shared Documents" = Source{[Name="Shared Documents"]}[Content],
#"KR PO Plan" = #"Shared Documents"{[Name="KR PO Plan"]}[Content],
SKT = #"KR PO Plan"{[Name="SKT"]}[Content],
#"SK_5G Bottom up plan" = SKT{[Name="CT SK_5G Bottom up plan"]}[Content],
#"Filtered Hidden Files1" = Table.SelectRows(#"SK_5G Bottom up plan", each [Attributes]?[Hidden]? <> true),
#"Invoke Custom Function1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Hidden Files1", "Transform File", each #"Transform File"([Content])),
#"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Invoke Custom Function1", {"Name", "Source.Name"}),
#"Removed Other Columns1" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns1", {"Source.Name", "Transform File"}),

Hi, sorry but It's not about my question. 

Multiple sheets are already applied, I need to apply dynamic Tabs which's name change. 

Hi @jeongkim 
Sorry, I don't understand what are tabs, in your picture there are sheets...
The objects that I am familiar with in Excel are a workbook (the file itself)/ sheets/tables/columns.
What of those are dynamic in your case?

Hi, 

Sorry I didn't use correct word. 

yes it is Sheet(not tab) but the thing is sheet's names are dynamic over time.

As we know, if sheet names change then query doesn't fetch the data. 

 

So I hope to make it to get data by sheet order not by sheet name.

I see, let me thoroughly watch and follow, 

Thank you! 

 

Happy to help 🙂

One more thing pls,

Can we rename the column names as per steet name?

e.g. if sheet name starts 2024 then one of columns to be 2024 blabla,

if sheet name starts 2025 then to be 2025 babla,

 

Since I renamed manually for all columns to add year number 2024 as data source has very old format which has many of empty column names. 

But the thing is year will change and 2024 should be 2025 next year.

@jeongkim 
If I understand you correctly and you want the column's names changing automatically I in doubt that it is possible.

But try to post it as a new question, maybe i am missing something 🙂

Will do thank you!
