Power BI have functionality to pick automatically if new file available in the share point folder
I have two sets of files (A and B).
Each A and B file appended with year like A_2018,A_2019,B_2018,B_2019.
A file has different columns and B file has different columns. Now my query is, do Power BI have the functionality to pick automatically if A_2020 file available in the share point folder?

Hi Anonymous,
there is no solution for your purpose of automatically loading new files to power bi. Because of the fact you specifiy the data file name when you add a new source.
Parameters may be a solution - See here https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/4475/using-parameters-in-power-bi/
The problem with parameters is you will override the the file name so the complete table will change based on the parameter.

OK, thought question was going a different route. What do you mean by pick automatically?
First time we will append all the data respective to A and B file then load into single table for each file.
If buiness user place A and B new files for next year in seperate spreadsheet then Power BI have to identify the respective file name and append new file data with exisiting data automatically.
