Hi,

I have a power query set up that combines all of the data from a named table in files stored in a SharePoint folder. When I created the initial query Power Query automatically created some "Helper Queries". In these helper queries there are the following:

Parameter1 (Sample File)

Sample File

Transform File

There is also an additional query called Transform Sample File.

As mentioned the combine query uses these to get the data from a table within the files called "Sales_Table".

What I now want to do in the same file is to combine the data from the same Sharepoint folder, same files, but from a different table. The table is called "Bank_Table".

Is it possible to use the Helper Queries to do this and if so how do I get them to select the "Bank_Table" rather than the "Sales_Table". Is this the best way to achieve what I want to do or is there a better way anyone can suggest?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bax,

Yes, you can edit the queries. Just update all instances of the file and table names you want to replace in the advanced editor for each helper query and the final query.
