automate and exclude certain values with excel

Hello community,


Im new to Power BI and i've made a dashboard connect to folder to auto update with excel files.


This part is working fine the problem is that the excel file always has 3 months.


For example the report from January has the last week of December and the first week February and the report of February has the last week of January and the first week of March, and so on..


When i import the February report it changes the value of January because the excel file has the last week of January.


Is there anyway to correct this on power bi without removing directly on the excel file?


Tkx in advance

    Hi x0cks ,

    Sounds like duplicated date values in columns. Please try to remove depulicated columns each time you update your folder and check it again.

    In addition, you can consider sharing some sample data and expected output for further discussion.
