Read multiple SQL server tables with LIKE operator

Hi...

I have a requirement to select all the tables which have name "Sales_" in my SQL server database.

Is there a way to read all of them using LIKE operator in power query.

 

Thanks in advance for your help

What do you mean by "select all the tables"?

 

If you mean automatically load each match to a separate query, then I don't think this is possible natively in Power BI (but you can probably do it programmatically with an external tool).

 

If you want to load all the matches into a single query by unioning/appending them together, then this should be possible in the Query Editor.
