Simple CSV Power Query
Hi team,
First time using Power Query.
Background: I am trying to automate one part of a monthly Invoice recharge process. (I will no doubt be asking for help on other parts of this process as well).
I have the workbook and all files in a single folder
I have an Excel Workbook that maps monthly 20k rows of SAP employee data to 60ish Agencies falling under 10 Departments to invoice data. I end up with 10 Department recharge statements listing each Agency's cost split.
- Each month I rename last month's template for this month.
- Clear the Employee data tab
- Copy and paste in the SAP data
- Clear the Invoice tab
- Copy and paste the invoice csv data
As my first foray into power query I simply want to use Power Query to eithe/or;
A) Clear the Invoice tab and paste the 'ecsv_' data from from the current folder from cell A1
B) Overwrite the current data with the entire 'ecsv_' sheet so I don't get any spill from the previous month.
My first attempt inserted the data to the left of the existing data, messing up my cell references.
