Separate two tables in the same Excel sheet

Hi,

 

I have following data (screenshot added below) and I would like to separate the two tables in Power BI, so I can use them separately.

 

https://prnt.sc/qng0ma

 

The tables are always delimited by 3 empty rows, so this delimiter could be used in order to make the distinction between both tables. However, I cannot find how to use a row delimiter in order to split tables.

Also note that we want to build a query so Power BI implements this distinction automatically when a new dataset is loaded (with the same format but different data).

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Kr,

Vincent

The easiest way is to set both sets as seperate tables in Excel (select the cells for one table and press ctr + t; repeat for second table) and import them in Power Query as separate tables. This way they will remain separate on refresh.
