  • In this video, we import multiple files that contain multiple sheets from a folder into one Excel table.
    This is a hugely powerful technique, yet it is quick and easy to do with Power Query.
    Download the files to follow along with the tutorial - www.computerga...
    In this example, we have four Excel workbooks that contain six worksheets. We only need four of these sheets, so will filter two out in the process.
    The data from all four sheets and all four files will be stacked into one table and then a PivotTable created from it.

    Searched high and low for such a clear and concise explanation to achieving this task where the data is non-uniform. I had 30 xlsx/xls files representing some annual data each with 22 sheets so not a task to attempt manually! Only problem I had was to get power query to recognise that not all sheets all had the same columns ... some had new columns introduced over the years and some columns had been discontinued but for an accurate record I wanted to keep all data. The way I achieved it in the end was to make a master list of column headings, replace the headings for the 'lead' file with the master and add dummy data in the empty columns. :) So thanks, one more subscriber found. Now to import the data (235,481 rows) into Access and start to analyse.

      Nice work! Thank you. Power Query can take some fiddling to get the exact recipe you need for your situation.

    Perfect, simple and just what I was looking for; so many of these youtube web cast on this subject always miss out on workbooks and only focus on a single sheet. Excellent job

    • @Computergaga
      @Computergaga  4 роки тому

      Thank you. Sure, you can. This technique imported from a folder. But you can also do this by importing from an external workbook from the Data tab. you can select the sheets you want from a list using this method.

    Why we need to do custom column? If we click on content the 2 arrows, it will not expand and show other columns of the sheet?

    • @Computergaga

      Hi Valerie, the list you see as I type the formula I don't believe is available in Excel 2016. It is hard to remember all version differences. I believe all steps in the video are possible although the buttons may be in different places.

    @3:00 Alan, what would happen if Combine or Load were chosen instead of Transform Data?

    • @Computergaga
      @Computergaga  3 роки тому +2

      Load would load the content of the window into an Excel table (or other default load destination).
      Combine would perform the merge.
      By using Transform we have the opportunity to exclude files, or extract sheets etc before merging/combining.
