Rename excel sheet from multiple files

Hello everyone,

 

New to the Power BI world.

 

I'm trying to load multiple excel files that contain a different sheet name in each file. The formating is the same.

Is there a way of changing the sheet name? 

 

thanks,

Yair

If you are loading them individually yes. Are you using a Folder query?

Hi, yes I'm using a Folder Query 

Well, that's a pickle then. Any rhyme or reason for the sheet naming convention?

Yeah..that's how the data is received

 

Thanks anyway!

Well, if there is a pattern to it, you could potentially solve it in Power Query, that's why I was asking if there was some kind of pattern.

What kind of pattern are you referring to? the files are in the same format.

Just the names of the file and sheet are different.

Hi @Anonymous 

Why do you need to change the sheet names/file names?

Do you want to append them in power query or anything else?

How do the "renaming sheet names/file names" help you for your purpose?

 

Best Regards

Maggie
