Hello,
I have an Excel file with many tabs.
I would like to load (Power BI desktop) automatically tabs that contain a certain value in theirs names.
How can I do that ?
Thank for your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Ok,
So try this: Open the Query Editor, copy/paste the following M code (advanced editor) and adapt the green part.
let Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("YourExcelFileFullPath"), true, true), KeepCol = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Name", "Data"}), Test = Table.AddColumn(KeepCol, "Flag", each Text.Contains([Name],"YourTestWord")), KeepTrue = Table.SelectRows(Test, each ([Flag] = true)), Expand = Table.ExpandTableColumn(KeepTrue, "Data", {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4", "Column5"}, {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4", "Column5"}) in Expand
Hi,
The tabs which match your name's condition(s), do they all have the exact same format ?
Yes,
For instance, I have the excel file with these tabs :
- 1_internal
- 1_customer
- 2_internal
- 2_customer
-....
Tabs withs "internal" have the same format (but not the others...) and I want to load only these one.

I would like to complete this query:
Your solution is working fine for one file.
How can I to apply this code for all files (xls same structure) in a folder ?
(I want names of tabs and files as a column too).
Ok this one should work:
let Source = Folder.Files("YourFolderPath"), KeepCol = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Name"}), Sheet_Info = Table.AddColumn(KeepCol, "Personnalisé", each Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("YourFolderPath" & [Name])), ExpandSheet = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Sheet_Info, "Personnalisé", {"Name", "Data"}, {"Name.1", "Data"}), Test = Table.AddColumn(ExpandSheet, "Flag", each Text.Contains([Name.1],"YourTestWord")), KeepTrue = Table.SelectRows(Test, each ([Flag] = true)), Develop = Table.ExpandTableColumn(KeepTrue, "Data", {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4", "Column5", "Column6"}, {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4", "Column5", "Column6"}) in Develop
