Hi,

Fairly new to Power Query. I am learning my way through it.

I have 10 different file each of which has 6 different tabs.

I would like my main combined file to have 6 sheets, which are a consolidation of each of the 6 tabs across the 10 different files.

How do I do that on Power Query?

Till now I have only found videos of people combining multiple sheets into the one main sheet on the consolidation file. Or having only one sheet on the invidividual workbook.

My workbooks are binary enabled.

When I tried to insert a "Excel.workbook([content]) under insert custom column header it gave me an error. Not sure why that was.

Would appreciate your guidance and help.

Thank you
