Preparing Access Database for BI Dashboards

$

Hello Guys

 

I need to create Power BI Dashboards by linking to Microsoft Access database. But before I do that, I have a challenge imporing data into Access. I have two issue in hand that I need to resolve with your help:

 

i.  I have large daily Excel files (around 150K rows) that I need to import in Access. I have a backlog of two years so effectively I need to start with over 700 files. I once googled the solution and imported one month files but the total size of data base went 6 times higher than collective size of excel source files.

 

ii. The second issue I face is that all of these excel files do not have date field. However, the file name contains the dates they were extracted on. So while importing all these files, I need to make sure that name of each file is also added as an additional field in the Access Data base.

 

I need experts' help urgently so that I could import data under two conditions while addressing file size constraint.

 

Cheers
