Hi, I am new to power query and I have a hopefully easy question.

I have a template which has a table and I have made power query look at it and make changes, thus creating a new sheet with those changes.

Now if I want to add a new sheet which has a table in it just like the template but with a different sheet name, is there a way to make power query also look at the new sheet. Is there some vba code I can use or is there a way to make power query automatically do this?
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!

You can use just power query. You can select the last sheet in your filter.

Sorry but I don’t know how to write code in power query, is there a way to select it or add it in the applied steps?

Is there a way I can change this statement to make it look at the table on the recent sheet?


Power Query:
Excel.currentworkbook(){[Name =“table13”]}[content]

How about starting with just this

Excel.currentworkbook()

I have a list of tables on that workbook, there are about 20 tables, but I want to only work with table 13, thus that extra step.

Your question is about referring to a new sheet. Which means you have to use a different table

Yes. Every new sheet that gets added has a table as column C and D. Is there a way to dynamically look at the new table on every new sheet that gets added and also use it as a source?

Yes but you told before you always wanted to use table13, which is not in line with the rest of your story
