Updating Main Dataset

kh0050 ok, so you can put all your file Excel in the same folder and then do this:
let
Source = Folder.Files("PATH FILES EXCEL"),
#"Filtered Hidden Files1" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each [Attributes]?[Hidden]? <> true),
#"Invoke Custom Function1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Hidden Files1", "Transform File", each #"Transform File"([Content])),
#"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Invoke Custom Function1", {"Name", "Source.Name"}),
#"Removed Other Columns1" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns1",{"Transform File"}),
#"Expanded Table Column1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns1", "Transform File", Table.ColumnNames(#"Transform File"(#"Sample File")))in
#"Expanded Table Column1"
What does this do? It takes all the Excel files in the folder and sends them to append creating a single table.
Try it!

Your options and approach really depend on how the data is stored and if you have access to both the base dataset and the deltas.
