Help with Dates!
AnneConway1 You can use the 'Append' option in Power Query to stack all this data into one big long table. I also recommend a DimDate table too. https://excelwithallison.blogspot.com/2020/04/dimdate-what-why-and-how.html
When you pull the data into Power BI, click 'Transform' then Home > Append Queries as New > three or more tables > select all the months you want in your report (note this is the manual way and you will need to add each month in each month, but is the 'novice' way. Eventually would be good to pull these through automatically as the spreadsheet grows but that requires manual coding). Right click on the the names of the months in the Queries pane on left and untick the 'Enable Load' box. This will ensure you don't pull the data through twice. You can also rename your 'Append1' query to something more meaningful.
