Send excel file out and connect feedback from email

Hi all, 

hope you are doing well!
I have a task. Every Monday, I need send out an email with excel file to 5 different plants, this file has 4 blank columns. the planner from these plants need to fill the 4 columns in that file. on Wednesday, I will receive 5 separate files from these 5 plants. then I need consolidate these 5 files into one(Normally I will use vlookup to gother these 5 files into the Monday version). after finishing the file version, I will send out this finished file to plants and demand team.

I would like to create a report in Power BI to have a better understanding of the data, I also would like to save the final version every week so that I can start have some historical data to review 

 

Is there any way I can make this whole process automate? any other tools or platforms I need to use?

Thank you so much for your support and help!!!

    Hi @hqanalyticss 

     

    I would save a Power Automate that would get the xls files and save the result in a SharePoint list and point PowerBI to that list. Then you would have the original files and PowerBI would have only one source to fetch the data.

     

    Can you please check if and let me know if you have any questions?
