How to perform incremental Excel file loads where dates are written in Excel file names

Hello together.  Just started on this Qlikview adventure and I have already a question concerning incremental loads.  I have found some answers, but none respond to the actual need I have:  We would like to create daily Excel reports to be read into Qlickview.  There are hundreds already and each day an extra file is lying on a file server (with slow connection speed).  Hence I wish to read the files once as an initial load, then only the new files.  To compare the "newness" of the file, I wish to use the date that is written within the filename.  i.e.:

Currently, I have only achieved to open the file, read a date field inside the file, and then to continue.  But this approach seems too slow -  just as fast as re-LOADing all excel files. Any ideas how to make this incremental LOAD work, and to make it performant?  Thank you
