Hello, I am trying to import several tables at one time. Therfore I am using the option Get data -> more... -> Folder. I have connected my folder with PowerQuery. This worked out fine.
Then I was trying to expand my table by clicking the symbol right to content (combine files). I selected as shown below one file in my folder.
Then unfortunately, PowerBi is only displaying the rows of the file I selected but not the other files.
When clicking on Applied Steps -> Removed Other Columns 1, I see that PowerBi does not recognise the other tables.
All files have exact the same structure. I already tried the same process and selected different files as standard but it did not worked out. Does anyone know or can guess why PowerBi does not recognize my files as tables?
Thank you for your help! I would really appreciate it 🙂
