Combine Button Absent in Power Query

Hello experts.

I have a problem with my power query. When I try to combine files by folder, the resulting power query preview window does not include the "combine" button at the bottom. Now I don't know how to proceed for the steps I was taught requires me to click on the "combine and transform" button.

Please can anybody help neon how to fix this? I use Excel 2016, and this has been troubling me for days and days.

Please find attached a snapshot of the power query window that loads when I try to combine files in a single folder.

    No worries, just click the button pointing down, that will combine.
