Hi, I import date from another excel file via Power Query. The sheet names change monthly. I want to feed the required sheet name to the Power Query. Cant get it working.
used the script below:
Power Query:
let
    custom_sheet = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="mySheet"]}[Content]{0}[Column1],
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\eugeneg\Ora Fund Managers\SAIF Tech - Documents\General\TBI PrefCo\Model\MMKT Files\NINETY ONE CORPORATE MONEY MARKET FUND A CLASS.xls"), null, true),
    query_sheet = Source{[Item=custom_sheet,Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(query_sheet,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}, {"Column6", type text}, {"Column7", type text}, {"Column8", type text}, {"Column9", type text}, {"Column10", type text}, {"Column11", type text}, {"Column12", type text}}),
    #"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(#"Changed Type",18),
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Removed Top Rows",{"Column1", "Column4"}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Removed Other Columns",null,"",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Column4"})
in
    #"Replaced Value"
the sheet name is defined in range name mySheet = December 2022 (the sheetname is in date format - 1/12/2022 - MMMM YYYY )
Expression.Error: The key didn't match any rows in the table.
Details:
Key=
Item=01/10/2022 00:00:00
Kind=Sheet
Table=


I manually changed the sheet name to text and the dynamic name to the same and get the same error

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

I'm on the Insider edition of 365 where this has been fixed, however in earlier versions, when you went right from a new Query to a table on a new sheet, it would always come in as Sheet#, whereas if you loaded it as a Connection Only, and then loaded it as a Table on a new Worksheet, the Worksheet would use the name of the query.
Not sure if that would answer your problem, but thought I'd mention it anyway!
