Hey all,
I have an Excel file that I need to import to Power BI once a week. The problem is that sometimes a specific sheet exists, sometimes it doesn't.
Is there a way to do an if statement when importing the sheet? Something like IF "SheetName" doesn't exist THEN do nothing/put only headers. I'm getting constant errors because in certain weeks Power BI can't find the sheet.
Thanks for you help,
Marta

You may use Try expression to deal with it.

@v-chuncz-msft thank you so much! It works perfectly, this is exactly what I need 😁
@martaredondo not sure how you are importing the excel file, are you reading file from a folder or what? Can you share M code?

@parry2k i'm reading the excel from sharepoint online, basic import.
The problem is the number of sheets in that excel is not fixed. It is an extraction from a tool our company uses and if there is no data asssociated to that export the sheet "disapears".
Imagine I have 2 sheets "Orders from Client A" and "Orders from Client B", if in that week I have no orders from client B the only sheet in my excel is "Orders from Client A". This is why I need to have a verification like IF "Orders fro Client B" do not exist THEN do nothing/put table in blank
@martaredondo gotcha, stay tuned.
