- In the step where you save the csv as xlsx, what is the name of the worksheet? Make sure it matches what is in your query.
Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think to check the sheet name. I appreciate your help!
There is also a way to set up the query so the tab name doesn't matter. When you choose Data, Get Data, From Workbook, a window opens showing some details about the workbook. Make sure you click the main branch of the tree that is displayed:
then click "Transform data". Power Query will show the elements of the workbook in a table, take these steps:
- Filter the "Kind" column for "Sheet"
- Filter the Name column for some text filter like "Begins with"
- To make sure we're only importing one sheet, click "Keep rows", "Keep Top Rows" and choose to keep only 1 row
- Consider if these steps will always give you the sheet you need. If not, change the above steps, these are just examples!
- Click the tiny button with the left and right pointing arrows next to the Data heading in the table.
