Hi @KyawMyoTun ,

To import multiple sheets in power query, you can try to create a custom function like this:

(PageNumber as text) =>

let
    Source = Folder.Files("C:\Users\xxx\xxxx\xxxxx"),
    #"C:\Users\xxx\xxx\xxxx\_test2 xlsx" = Source{[#"Folder Path"="C:\Users\xxx\xxxx\xxx x\",Name="test2.xlsx"]}[Content],
    #"Imported Excel" = Excel.Workbook(#"C:\Users\xxx\xxx\xxx\_test2 xlsx"),
    #"1_Sheet" = #"Imported Excel"{[Item=""&PageNumber&"",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"1_Sheet", [PromoteAllScalars=true])
in
    #"Promoted Headers"

You can enter the sheet number to import specific sheets into power query by this function.

 

For appending tables with different columns, not need to worry, the appended table would show all the columns from all appended tables. If one table does not have some columns, it will show null value under these columns.
