Automatic File Load inside Dataflow when dataflow refreshes

Please help me in clearing my below Question:

 

In ADLS Folder Path i have placed 3 Parquet files which has different structure and Files Names ( RiskDetails , EngagementInfo , PersonDetails ) these are the 3 files .

 

I have Created the Power bi dataflow in Power bi services and am trying to load all these 3 files inside the dataflow . When am doing this i need to manually select and filter each file one by one from the distribution list and load it in to the datflow so that it will create 3 saperate tables inside this dataflow for these 3 files .

 

Question 1 - is there any Possibility where we can load these files directly in to the power query editor from ADLS Path without doing any manual selection . 

 

Question 2: Suppose tomorrow any new Files comes in with different file name will that be loaded automatically in to power query editor when the dataflow refreshes without doing any manual selection.

 

Note - We are not moving these files to any sharepoint and connecting Sharepoint in to Power bi dataflow , this is connecting Power bi dataflow with ADLS  , Plese let me know is it possible when Power bi dataflow is connected with ADLS.

You seem to be asking a couple of unrelated questions. Maybe you can explain a bit more what you are trying to achieve.

 

Fun fact: Dataflows are pretty much the same as Parquet files. So in your scenario dataflows may not be required.
