It should be a very simple question I believe, but I can't really get the answer.
The question is I want to load multiple files at the same time by using "Get data -> Folder". However, those files I want to import are in completely different formats, and even their filenames are completely different (or I should say they don't share any columns).
For example, one file is "File A.csv", with 5 columns; another file is "Hello 123.xlsx", with 10 columns. I am expecting to see the final result would be loading two separate tables that can be seen in the "Fields".
I would be grateful if somebody can help answer this question.
@Anonymous , As far as I am aware, you have add them separately as tables
or add folder ad filter similar type of files and then append binaries
You mean that "get data -> folder" this action can only import multiple same-format files, if they are in different format, then the only way to import them is to one-by-one import the files?
Hope I don't get you wrong.
