to have this line Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\TEST\MyFile\January2024.xlsm"), null, true), becaming Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(MyPN!K2), null, true),

Any way to do it?

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
You need Name="FilePath" not Name=FilePath in the first one.

Name="FilePath"
Great: now it works!
I have changed the first line from FilePath = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="FilePath"]}[Content]{0}[DATA SOURCE] to FilePath = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="FilePath"]}[Content]{0}[Column1]
