reuse query steps
Dragon1 If spreadsheet is going to have same number of columns and names just with poor data each time then in power bi desktop you can go to query editor, right click your original query and make duplicate of it. Then simply click on setting icon next to Source (first step in query) and point it to your new spreadsheet and click Refresh. This will repeat all those steps you applied previously. As said earlier if metadata of your spreadsheet hasn't changed but only data needs cleaning.

Is there a way that this repeated steps can run automatically? For example, the new file comes into a folder every week and run a schedule job to pick up the file and run the "applied steps", etc... Thanks!
