Loading multiple tables from a single excel workbook; then, creating separate queries for data model

Hi, All.

 

I am loading an Excel workbook with several tables in it (see screenshot). is there an elegant way to turn each table (or several tables that I filter) into separate queries for the data model?

 

I can create a separate query per table, manually - but, since I have multiple tables, I wonder if there is an automated way to do so.

 

Any help is appreciated! 

 

Thanks!

    Hi Anonymous 

    I'm afraid there is no auto way like just one step could tramsform it to many tables.

    I test with method below:

    add an index column in original table from 1,

    create a function like the following:

    (Sheetindex as number) =>
    let
        Source = #"2 26 xlsx",
        #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Index] = Sheetindex)),
        #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Data"})
    in
        #"Removed Other Columns"

    Then enter 1 or 2,3,4,5 to the "Parameter", invoke, i can get single query of each sheet data, then expand data and promote column headers.

     

    Best Regards
