Hello Folks.

Thanks for the support .

I have a sharepoint data source which having excel files of workdata.

each day one workdata file will be updated in the sharepoint .

files name will be like

in the content ,there is not date column ,so only way to distinguish the files are by its filename.

entire folder is connected to the power bi environment .

let
    Source = SharePoint.Files("https://xyz.com/teams/Analytics", [ApiVersion = 15]),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each Text.Contains([Folder Path], "test")),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows",{{"Date created", type number}}),
    #"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([Date created] = List.Max(#"Changed Type"[Date created])))
in
    #"Filtered Rows1"

@ashikts  you can filter the latest file based on Date created
