Hello community,
Is there a way to use Power Query to extract only data from the same workbook where all the sheets names begin with "rec_" for instance?
Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
Sure:
let Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("<YourPathAndFileName"), null, true), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each [Kind] = "Sheet" and Text.StartsWith([Item], "rec_")) in #"Filtered Rows"

Hello,
I find that this does not work if the file lives in a OneDrive folder synced to the PC. I works fine with the path
= Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\stuff\Book1.xlsx"), null, true)
but with the path C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Forums\filename.xlsx it throws an error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
How can it be made to work for OneDrive stored files?
Thank you
