Can I download files locally and run a Powershell script with Power Query?

Hello

 

I want to combine several hundreds of csv files from a sharepoint and Power Query is very slow.

 

Is it possible to download the files quickly as with MS Edge and then run locally a Powershell script to combine them before loading them to Power Query?

 

Or do you have any other faster idea?

 

Thanks!

Do the files have a lot of rows?

How are you combining them in Power Query currently?

Share your code if you can.
