Use this function (copied from link below) to import multiple XLSX to one sheet.

 //Define function parameters  
 (#"Directory containing Excel files to combine" as text,   
 optional #"Name of each Excel object to combine" as text,   
 optional #"Use first rows as headers" as logical) =>  
 let  
   //If the optional Excel object name parameter is not set, then default to Sheet1  
   ExcelName = if #"Name of each Excel object to combine" = null   
         then "Sheet1"   
         else #"Name of each Excel object to combine",  
   //If the optional Use first rows as headers parameter is not set, then default to true  
   UseFirstRowsAsHeaders = if #"Use first rows as headers"= null   
               then true   
               else #"Use first rows as headers",  
   //Get a list of all the files in the folder specified  
   Source = Folder.Files(#"Directory containing Excel files to combine"),  
   //Filter these to only get Excel files  
   OnlyGetExcelFiles = Table.SelectRows(Source,   
                each ([Extension] = ".xlsx")   
                or ([Extension] = ".xls")),  
   //Find the full path of each file  
   FullPath = Table.CombineColumns(  
           OnlyGetExcelFiles ,  
           {"Folder Path", "Name"},  
           Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter("", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged"),  
   //Get a list containing each file path  
   ExcelFiles = Table.Column(FullPath, "Merged"),  
   //Define a function to get the data from the specified name in each Excel workbook  
   GetExcelContents = (FileName as text) =>  
    let  
    //Connect to the workbook  
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(FileName), UseFirstRowsAsHeaders),  
    //Get a table of data from the name specified  
    //If the name doesn't exist catch the error and return null  
    ExcelData = try Source{[Item=ExcelName]}[Data]   
               otherwise try Source{[Name=ExcelName]}[Data]   
               otherwise null  
    in  
    ExcelData,  
   //Call the above function for each Excel file  
   ReadAllWorkbooks = List.Transform(ExcelFiles, each GetExcelContents(_)),  
   //Remove any null values resulting from errors  
   IgnoreNulls = List.RemoveNulls(ReadAllWorkbooks),  
   //Combine the data from each workbook into a single table  
   CombineData = Table.Combine(IgnoreNulls)  
 in
