try this:

LET vFolderPath = 'C:\Your\Excel\Directory\';

TempFileList:

LOAD FileName() as FileName, FileTime() as FileTime FROM [$(vFolderPath)*.xlsx]

(ooxml, no labels, table is [Sheet1]);

LET vLatestFile = Peek('FileName', 0, 'TempFileList');

LOAD * FROM [$(vFolderPath)$(vLatestFile)] (ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Sheet1]);
