Merging data from multiple sheets in PowerBi

I have a workbook with several sheets that all have the same table layout. I want to combine these tables into one, but I also want to preserve the sheet names as labels for each section of the merged table.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

After connecting to the data source, click "transform data" to enter the power query.
For the s1 table, add a custom column.

Merges the column with the type column.

Repeat the same steps to add custom columns to the s2 and s3 tables and then merge them.

Then append these three tables.

Unfortunately, I can't provide a sample. Here's the detailed explanation: I have an Excel file with sheets named S1, S2, S3, S4, and so forth. All these sheets have the same table structure, meaning they have identical columns but different rows. I'm trying to merge the data from these sheets into a single table. To distinguish between the tables, I want to use the sheet names as IDs

I cannot assist you if you are unable to provide sample data. I hope someone else can help you further.
