file replace automatically

i get date from sharepoint folder and there will be 2 file for the 1 Powerbi Table. and the 2 file is version 1 and version 2. Now the default is the version 1 and version 2 file will be "append "

 for example:

 

the version 1 data:

filenameDateVendorproductQTY
Version202310052023-10-05Aiphone 1410
Version202310052023-10-05Aiphone 1520
Version202310052023-10-05Biphone 152
Version202310052023-10-05Ciphone 124
Version202310052023-10-05Ciphone 133
Version202310052023-10-05Diphone 146
Version202310052023-10-05Diphone 159

 

 

 

the version 2 data :

 

filenameDateVendorproductQTY
Version202310252023-10-25Aiphone 143
Version20231025 2023-10-25Aiphone 153
Version20231025 2023-10-25Ciphone 123
Version20231025 2023-10-25Ciphone 133
Version20231025 2023-10-25Diphone 143
Version20231025 2023-10-25Diphone 153

 

 

what i want is when there is only version 1 file existing ,the table just get the version 1 data

when there are version 1 version 2 existing, just keep the version 2 ( means keep the latest date file) , which means for the above 2 version file ,i only need the version 2 data,as it has the later date. 

 

is there any way to achieve this?

When you connect to the sharepoint folder, you sort the file list by an appropriate criteria (for example file name descending) and then you grab the binary of the first row, like #"Sorted Rows"[Contents]{0}

sounds a practicable approach ,i will try that and accept this as a solution when it works.
