    Hi luke_avalle, 

    You could try below M code to see whether it work or not

    let
    Source = Folder.Files("C:\Users\(username)\Documents\New folder"),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Folder Path] = "C:\Users\zoezhi\Documents\New folder\"&Date.ToText(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()),"yyyyMMdd")&"\"))
in
    #"Filtered Rows"

     

    Best Regards,
    Zoe Zhi

Hi all, 

Just to add an extra bit of complexity onto this - how would I allow other users to refresh this power query?.

 

Let's say I have a sharepoint with the excel file in. Is it possible for others who have access to this sharepoint to go in and refresh this query so it pulls the most recent data, without them having to setup a new data source connection each time?
