Duplicate Data From Sharepoint Folder Link

I have managed to successfully set up a data model that updates based on files in a Sharepoint Document Library, however I am finding that the data is all imported twice.

I presume that this is because it is seeing the Tables as one data source and the Sheets as a second, and so is pulling in both at once.

I have managed to work around it by filtering out Sheet1 in the data table name, but that won't work if it is called something else.

If I was connecting to the workbooks directly it would be easy enough, but as I am just connecting to the folder I can't see a way to do it - Is there an easy way to only pull in the Tables but not the Sheets?

Thanks,
Alex.

3. Wait for the menu to expand

If you always want to have the menus expanded:
4. On the menu bar, click TOOLS, then CUSTOMISE. Select OPTIONS, then uncheck the
