Is there a way to ignore a string at the end of a file name stored in a SharePoint folder when connecting Power Query? In this case the file name is "Construction Progress_yyyymmdd.xslx", a date is appended to the end every time it is updated. The is the only file in the folder, old files are moved to an Archive in the same main folder. Thank you for the help.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
What do you mean by ignore? You can split column by delimiter "_" so it will just say Construction Progress
