This video shows how to use Power Query to combine multiple workbooks into a single workbook. This approach supports the situation where workbooks may contain multiple worksheets. Provided the column labels are the same in each, Power Query will line up the data columns consistently.

Copy the following M Code:

let
MyFiles = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="filepath"]}[Content]{0}[Column1],
Source = Folder.Files(MyFiles),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Sheets", each Excel.Workbook(File.Contents([Folder Path]&[Name]))),
#"Expanded Sheets" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "Sheets", {"Name", "Data", "Item", "Kind", "Hidden"}, {"Name.1", "Data", "Item", "Kind", "Hidden"}),
#"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Expanded Sheets", "Data", {"Column1", "Column2"}, {"Column1", "Column2"}),
#"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Expanded Data", {"Column1", "Column2"})
in
#"Removed Other Columns"
