The latest two workbooks will only load when Dynamic Load is set to TRUE. All these parameters will allow the app to locate the two latest revisions of the Excel workbooks and load them if you set the final parameter Dynamic Load as TRUE. Similarly, scroll down to find Filename Substring, and write down the substring of the workbooks’ filenames that you would want to load. Under Folder Substring, write a substring that can uniquely represent the folder where the two files can be found.
This prefix is the value you would need to use as the parameter SharePoint Site. Copy the prefix of the URL in the address bar before “/_layouts”, as demonstrated in this screenshot. If you use OneDrive for Business, open the desired folder in your browser. If you have the workbooks on a SharePoint site, here is the syntax of the URL you would need to use (Replace the brackets with your SharePoint site information): Under SharePoint Site, copy the URL for the SharePoint site or OneDrive for Business where the workbooks are stored. Scroll down to fill in the rest of the parameters. (Don’t forget to get the URLs by following the instructions here). Paste the URL of workbook 1 under Filename 1, then the URL of the second workbook under Filename 2. Start by copying the file path names of the two Excel files. Then all files are sorted according to their alphabetical order, and the last two files will be loaded and be compared. The dynamic load filters all subfolders according to the Folder Substring parameter and then filters all file names according to the Filename Substring parameter.

That means that for the dynamic option you can set two old revisions for the full path filenames, and when you have newer revisions of the workbook as new files in the same folder, these new files will be loaded instead of the first two. Even if you prefer the dynamic method, you still need to explicitly define two full path filenames to refresh the data on the Power BI service. Note: the app allows you to import either two specified files or to dynamically load the latest two files from a folder. The full path is represented by a special URL that you can find by following the simple instructions here. The app requires an initial two full path filenames of existing Excel workbooks on your SharePoint site or OneDrive for Business.
