Use a list of excel files (from hyperlinks) as data sources

I have a list of files in the following format:

This list is dynamic and there may be new ones added at any time. I want to import the data from all these excel files into Power Query. How can I do this?

you can create a binary list quer and use it as parameters for a looping apis call:

hello @amalm 

 

use this paths as table, add a new column where you place a formula that reads all data sources of type "sheet" and merge them. Afterwards expand the created table
