Import folder in powerbi, without combining

Dear Community,

 

I am new in powerbi, please can someone teach me one thing.

 

I have multiple report files which I want to parse with powerbi. This report files are being generated every night ( they are regression results),

So to not import each file seperatly, I import the whole folder. This is also good when the regression file is changed, I can do just refresh the folder on powderbi.

 

 Now my issue is that when i import the folder all files are being combined.

 This i do not need as these files are not connected with each other at all. How i can make folder import not to combine files?

 

 And is importing the folder good idea for adding multiple files on powerbi? (Isn't there shell or python command available?)

 

 Thanks

 Hayk

  • Hi , haykp 

    According to your description, you do not want to combine the files in your table .

    If this , you can Click "Transform" instead of the "Combine & Transform data":

    Then you can parse different files according to your needs, and if you want multiple tables, you can connect again and select the files you need.

     

    Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
