Something like this

For each File in FileList('abc*.xlsx')


TableName:

Load SubField(FileBaseName(), ' ', -1) as Country

From $(File)

(ooxml, no labels, table is [Sheet 1]);

LET vCountry = 'Top 60 ' & Peek('Country');

Fact:

LOAD *

From $(File)

(ooxml, no labels, table is [$(vCountry)]);

DROP Table TableName;


NEXT File;

May be store the country name from the filename and then save that in the variable
