Shows three concrete Power Query recipes: how to combine files from a folder and promote headers then transpose and split columns so appended workbooks merge cleanly; how to filter by latest file using Date/Time Filters → Is Latest to make refresh pull only the newest upload; how to parse year from filename with Text.Replace then Number.From and Date.From to create a usable date column.
