When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Hi

Dim Fs
Set Fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Fs.fileexists("C:ERA_EFTDAFEPDB_CONFIRM.TXT") Then
'your code here
End If
