combine tables via crawling a list of files

Hello,

 

I have a list with paths of files e.g., A Query Q1 = {"path1","path2","[path3"} and a I created a function File2Table that gets as an argument a path and returns a table. E.g., File2Table = (path as text) => ......

 

How can I append all tables from each path? E.g., Table.Combine({File2Path(Q1{0}), File2Path(Q1{1}), ...})?

 

Thanks!

You may use code below.

    result = Table.Combine(List.Transform(Q1, each File2Table(_)))

This is what I have done eventually

Results=List.Generate(()=>0, each _ < List.Count(Q1), each _ +1, each File2Table(Q1{_})),
out=Table.Combine(Results)



but @v-chuncz-msft has a much better and easier to follow solution.
