Question about connecting the data from 2 Files

[Anonymous]

Hello Power BI Community,

I have a question that I'm sure the experts among you can answer without further problems.

I have included 2 Excel files as data source in the dataset. Excel A for 2022, Excel B for 2023.

How can I link the Excel files so that in a visual (eg bar chart) the data from Excel A with the data from Excel B is continued?

Thanks for your help 🙂

Hi @Anonymous 

To display two Excel files' data in a visual continuously, you need to combine data from two files into one table first. Append queries is a good method to do that. Before appending, ensure that the column headers have the same names for columns that share the same meaning.
