I have lots of different spreadsheets that are all the same format, but with different data in them. At the moment I have to upload each speadsheet individualy, carry out the transformations of the data in query editor and then appended them all together. Is there a way this can be done automatically?
For example is there a way with using Get Data from Folders? Can Power BI select all the specific tables in the spreadsheets and then carry out a pre deturmined set of transformations on the data? And then perhaps even append them all together?
(All the spreadsheets have a lot of tables in that I am not interested in, but I only upload the same 3 tables from each spreadsheet, which are all in the same format)
The transformations I carry out on each table are:
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table9"]}[Content]
,
#"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(Source),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table"),
#"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Promoted Headers", {"Date", "Status"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Unpivoted Columns",{{"Date", type date}})
in
#"Changed Type"
So basically, transposed table, promote first row as headers, unpivot a set amount of columns, change type of one of the rows to date.
Thanks
