    Good morning, I have already been able to solve the problem, if someone can help you, watching tutorials and reading about power query I found that having a reference excel and generating a GetData function for each of the necessary tables, I was able to bring from all the bases the tables and combine them into one, this is perhaps too punctual, I needed them agreed, but I share it in case someone ever serves it even if it is for reference

    Getdata table Cli.dbf

     
     (Nlocal)=>
let
    Origen = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\administrador.ESTANCIAS\Documents\Power BI Desktop\Sucursales.xlsx"), null, true),
    Sheet1_Sheet = Origen{[Item="Sheet1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    LOCAL = Sheet1_Sheet{Nlocal}[Column9],
    

    Source = OleDb.DataSource("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=Z:\LINCEV3\"&LOCAL&"\DBF\;extended properties=dBASE IV",
    [Query="select * from [cli.dbf]"])
in
    Source

    the excel that is called in the query has an ID per database, the name of the database and the name of the directory folder that has the database

    ex: 1 Castelar caste

    Query calling Getdata

     
    let
    Origen = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\administrador.ESTANCIAS\Documents\Power BI Desktop\Sucursales.xlsx"), null, true),
    Sheet1_Sheet = Origen{[Item="Sheet1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Encabezados promovidos1" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Sheet1_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Tipo cambiado" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Encabezados promovidos1",{{"UBICACIÓN", type text}, {"AGRUPAMIENTO", type any}, {"NOMBRE_LOCAL", type any}, {"NOMBRE_LOCAL_TOTAL", type any}, {"COD_LOCAL", Int64.Type}, {"CONCEPTO", type text}, {"SSS", type text}, {"TIPO", type text}, {"LOCAL", type text}, {"Activo", Int64.Type}, {"Orden", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Personalizada agregada" = Table.AddColumn(#"Tipo cambiado", "Personalizado", each GetData([COD_LOCAL])),
    #"Otras columnas quitadas" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Personalizada agregada",{"COD_LOCAL", "Personalizado"})
in
    #"Otras columnas quitadas"


    I hope I have not made it very confusing, thank you all very much,
    Cheers.
