Email attachments not combining

I am currently trying to combine files from email attachments. I have used this process previously but with these files it is not working.

 

Below are screenshots of the steps.

 

1. Exchange online inbox as the source & filtered to just show date & attachments:

2. expand attachments:

3. Attempt to combine:

4. Once table picked this is what I get:

Each excel attachment is named the same with the same columns every day. I have restricted the inbox to two emails for the screenshots but it does the same no matter how many files there are. Any idea what I am doing wrong here or a fix to get each days attachments to combine?

    Have you tried deleting the Changed Type step? Or you can click on the white space around the error and see what the value is.

      Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I deleted the Changed Type Step but that didn't make any difference. I clicked the white space around the error & got the following: An error occurred in the ‘Transform File’ query. Expression.Error: The key didn't match any rows in the table.
      Details:
      Key=
      Item=2024-04-15
      Kind=Sheet
      Table=[Table]

      What's bizarre is that it always picks 2024 -04 -14 as the sample file but the data shown prior to the error is always from whatever happens to be the most recent file (in this instance from 2024 - 04 - 16) but there doesn't seem to be anyway of altering what it picks as the first or sample file.
