Thanks, Myanda, this is an excellent video. I completed your Power Query Course in 2016. I am now fully retired but have maintained an interest in EXCEL and each week I receive a PDF file from a data provider that I need to put into a data table for my SMSF. I developed a VBA program to analyse the data once I have placed the data in a Table. I will try and use Power Query to do this step as it could be a time saver. Thanks again. The course was excellent and I would recommend it as it is the future direction being taken by Microsoft.

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Thanks so much, John! It's lovely to hear that you found my course valuable. Enjoy your retirement :-)

[@the_starlinkway7821]

hi, great video! question for you MyOnlineTrainingHub - I have several tables from PDF, they are basically one long table (22 tables in import) but only the first table has headers. Excel doesnt recognize or understand that columns from each table are the same so it ends up staggering them over. so if table 1 ends on column 10, then table 2 starts on column 11, table 3 on column 21, and so on. how do you make excel recognize or understand that you want it to simply stack all the tables on top of each other and recognize headers from first table you pick?

[@Lotus0305]

How could I select and append different tables from different files at the same time? Scenario: Select Tables 4, 13, 16 and 19 from pdf.files 1,3,5,7?

[@mrprakashraobs]

Madam, I am re-framing my question I have Multiple PDF file in one folder, in some PDF when I see in Power Query it shows as Table 3 and for some PDF it shows the same content in Table 4. so importing becomes problem if I select the sample from table 3 then only data from all pdf from table 3 will be considered for processing. one common thing I have is table has one column Name as " LineNO". First I should find if PDF has a table having the column as LineNO if Yes then consider that as the table to process and move to next PDF and do the same process So Importing of Table having Column Name as "LineNo" is the condition that to be passed before Transform.

Is there a way to the import data and select all tables automatically? For example, you only have to specify the location with multiple PDFs and the automation does the loading + selecting all tables

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Hi Sean, I haven't tried multiple tables from multiple PDFs, but I know you can get multiple PDFs that all have the same structure with one table from a folder. You'd have to test it for multiple tables, but I would have thought so.

[@Horseinacorset]

So I've set up a Power Query from a PDF, which involved quite a lot of tidying! We have an old system that provides messy PDF outputs for data, and I'd like to add new PDFs and get Power Query to do the same applied steps every time, so I can feed it new PDFs and get clean outputted data as separate tables. Is this possible?
