Power Query | Referencing | "We couldn't find an Excel table named 'TableName'

Hi Masters!

 

Can anyone please help me out of here? I also attached the file for simulation and reference.

      Yes, I don't have trouble doing this via the connector but I was geared towards using a Parameter table(to be more dynamic)... where as a result gave me all this trouble.

    Hi Ovette,

     

    You shall add the function which picks up the content of each file, add what it returns as a column to your query and expand resulting table.

    Please see attached.

        Can you can you explain what you did in detail for me please?  Im a bit of a beginner. I’m having the same error that you did in your first post. I’m wanting a dynamic query folder path.  When I click on double expand arrows I get the cannot find table name table2 error. 

         

        Im using power query (should have same solution as power bi though).
