    Hi cristianml ,

     

    You'll need something like this to get the sheet names and then navigate to the specific sheet you need.

    From what I understand you can't acheive this using Excel.CurrentWorkbook().

     

    let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("YourFilePath"), null, true),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Kind] = "Sheet")),
    #"This Sheet_Sheet" = #"Filtered Rows"{[Item="This Sheet",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data]
in
    #"This Sheet_Sheet"

     

     Hope this helps point you in the right direction.

     

    Regards,

    Kim

Hi KNP ,

 

thanks ! works perfect ! now I like to solved the other part that is change the path so when i share the file to other user can use it without change the hardcoded path:

 

File.Contents("C:\Users\cristian\Desktop\Actual vs Forecast\Macro Actual vs Forecast.xlsm")

 

but I will try this with filepath from cell value. 🙂

 

Thanks !!
