Dataflow 101 - How to create dataflow based on a folder that combines multiple excel files?
Hello v-diye-msft !
I am encoutering the same problem and I tried to apply your solution.
I copied the code from the Desktop:
let
Source = Folder.Files("MyPath"),
#"Filtered Hidden Files1" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each [Attributes]?[Hidden]? <> true),
#"Invoke Custom Function1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Hidden Files1", "Transform File (2)", each #"Transform File (2)"([Content])),
#"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Invoke Custom Function1", {"Name", "Source.Name"}),
#"Removed Other Columns1" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns1", {"Source.Name", "Transform File (2)"}),
#"Expanded Table Column1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns1", "Transform File (2)", Table.ColumnNames(#"Transform File (2)"(#"Sample File (2)"))),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Table Column1",{{"Source.Name", type text}, {"RESORT_CODE", type text}, {"CONFIRMATION_NO", Int64.Type}, {"TEL", type any}})
in
#"Changed Type"
However, I get this message :
And indeed, if I go to the step #"Invoke Custom Function1", I can see that the query gives an [Error] instead of a [Table] :
Do you know how I could overcome this issue ?
