Hi @hamid,

 

Based on my test, we can use the Parameters to meet your requirement. Here I create a parameter like this.

After that we need to change the M code in the advanced editor, then we can choose the path that we want to import different files in power query. Please notice files will be combined within a given folder as long as they have the same file type and structure (such as the same columns). Here is the M code in advanced editor for your reference.

 

let
    Source = Folder.Files("file path\"& Parameter1),
    #"Invoke Custom Function1" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Transform File from C (3)", each #"Transform File from C (3)"([Content])),
    #"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Invoke Custom Function1", {"Name", "Source.Name"}),
    #"Removed Other Columns1" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns1", {"Source.Name", "Transform File from C (3)"}),
    #"Expanded Transform File from C (3)" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns1", "Transform File from C (3)", {"ID", "name"}, {"Transform File from C (3).ID", "Transform File from C (3).name"})
in
    #"Expanded Transform File from C (3)"
