Full disclosure that I asked ChatGPT to write the following. My idea is, create a custom function that calculates and outputs the number of existing records for each step thus far. // Custom function to count rows for all steps (querySteps as list) as table => let // Generate a list of records where each record contains the step name and row count RowCounts = List.Transform(querySteps, each [StepName = _[StepName], RowCount = Table.RowCount(_[Table])]), // Convert the list of records to a table ResultTable = Table.FromRecords(RowCounts) in ResultTable let // Original data source Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content], // Define each step FilterAB = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([BloodType] = "AB-")), FilterLess170 = Table.SelectRows(FilterAB, each [Centimeters] < 170), FilterWA = Table.SelectRows(FilterLess170, each [State] = "WA"), // Create a list of steps with their respective names MyQuerySteps = { [StepName = "Source", Table = Source], [StepName = "FilterAB", Table = FilterAB], [StepName = "FilterLess170", Table = FilterLess170], [StepName = "FilterWA", Table = FilterWA] }, // Call the custom function to get the row count for each step RowCountsTable = RowCountFunction(MyQuerySteps) in RowCountsTable

@@AccessAnalytic usual you want to index your data in the model, set bunch of variables, one of which will be batch size, then initial value and optionally count for loops, as then at the end you want to append everything, and each CSV will have own headers, and you don't want them. Loop number will help you with that as then you can skip first row in CSV for loops beyond first one.

If you want to capture the date time of refresh then there’s probably a method via the Power BI API learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/get-refresh-history Another method could be to use power automate to trigger an update to an excel table on refresh
