you can load all the file by the below code (with comments for each step)
let // Set the folder path FolderPath = "C:\YourFolderPath\", // Load all files from the folder Source = Folder.Files(FolderPath), // Filter to only include Excel files ExcelFiles = Table.SelectRows(Source, each Text.EndsWith([Name], ".xlsx") or Text.EndsWith([Name], ".xls")), // Add a column to extract data from each file AddCustom = Table.AddColumn(ExcelFiles, "Data", each Excel.Workbook([Content], true)), // Expand the Data column to get each sheet from each file ExpandSheets = Table.ExpandTableColumn(AddCustom, "Data", {"Name", "Data"}, {"SheetName", "Data"}), // If you want to filter by specific sheet names, uncomment and modify this line: // FilterSheets = Table.SelectRows(ExpandSheets, each [SheetName] = "Sheet1" or [SheetName] = "Sheet2"), // Expand the data in each sheet ExpandData = Table.ExpandTableColumn(ExpandSheets, "Data", Table.ColumnNames(ExpandSheets[Data]{0})), // Optional: Add a column to identify the source file name AddSourceInfo = Table.AddColumn(ExpandData, "SourceFile", each [Name]) in AddSourceInfoIf this answer helped resolve your issue, please consider marking it as the accepted answer.

Go to the power query, then in the Home tab, pick Advance EDitor, in the oppened window, remove all the command and past the code I have provided.
in the code I have mention
C:\YourFolderPath\
as folder path, replace it by your own folder path
