Power query help needed

I have  a sharepoint folder with csv files.  There will be a file uploaded to this folder each day. Filename will have the date prefixed for each file.  The problem is each file have first 10 rows as in different format so i need to remove those rows. Since there is a file for each day, i am looking to see if there is a way to remove first 10 rows from all the files at once.  Can anyone help with transform that i need to use here. Thanks

Hi,

You will have to use the Table.Skip function in a Custom Column.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

In your query add a step : Home tab, click on Remove Rows -> Remove Top Rows then enter 10

this will only remove first 10 rows from the first file. I want this to work for all the files in the folder.
