Actually you can do that with Co-pilot (built into Excel). Otherwise, you can create a new table from columns c & d with the same column headers as a & b and then append in Power Query.
Continuing...Step 3) Get From File..
Step 4) then Chose From Folder
Step5) Navigate to correct folder
Step6) Open folder, PQ brings pdfs into initial Data model
Step7) Chose option to combine tables and load
Step8) PQ will run then you chose new Worksheet at dialog (can chose pivot or other view type)
Step9) Datamodel loads into new worksheet with default headers created (you can left click and change header names)
Step10) PQ also creates an extra first column in model -- Delete that first extra column.
*** All tables should have auto appended to the first pdf table in your table list
There are no column names in the pdf. PQ brings them in as Columns 1-4. So, I should rename the columns in all 100 tables before I append them? I’m looking for a faster way.
NO. Rename headers after PQ auto-creates the final data model, appending all 99 tables to the first one,vertically. THe default header names are created AFTER the "combine (append) takes place. The tables are added below the first table converted into EXCEL format by PQ.
Seems like an easy AI problem. Doesn’t EY have some tools by now?
@SM1, sometimes no response is the best response. This is intended to be a supportive Bowl. If you don’t have any value to add, keep quiet.
if c & d columns have the names as a & b then power query will do that on its own, otherwise you might want to rename the columns before the append, and for safe keeping you might want to try a "try otherwise" statement
Are the column names consistent or do they need to be renamed? And if so, can they be assigned column names using some logic?
Can you load as sheets? Then theyll automatically named. Otherwise, maybe a function to add a column name before appending.
Can you provide a screenshot of your query
If that 100 page pdf has a static name then you could chose to have a "Connection" instead of doing a "Load and close" action. That open connection will enable your final Table to auto update when a new 100pg (more or less) pdf file of the same name is put in the folder, overwriting the previous one
