Excel: Refreshing Runs into error with finding column since the column names are changed daily

I am grabbing a table from this site (https://cleaningtheglass.com/stats/league/fourfactors?season=2022&seasontype=regseason&start=02/1/2023&end=10/15/2023&venue=home#) and I can load it etc but it won't refresh the next day with updated stats. The reason I believe the error is appearing is because the data provides averages within the column names so the next day the column name changes on the site.
The error that appears is '[Expression.Error] The columns 'W 3.6' of the table wasn't found. It doesn't appear for any other column, but I think because it stops trying to refresh the data once it runs into a problem.
I simply want to refresh the data so I can get up to date stats to experiment with. Above is what my sheet looks like and the info I want to refresh daily. excel sheet with error
I have tried removing columns with unnecessary info while uploading data, changed columns names, and I went into Properties> "Overwrite existing cells with new data, clear unused cells and none of them have worked".
Any ideas on how to get around this? I don't find any value in the averages provided on the site so if we need to rid them that would be better also. Please let me know if more information is needed! Thanks in advance!

Functions pulling from a refreshing power query giving REF! error

I have a changing power query which size changes based on the amount of PDF's from a folder. I have functions set up on a separate sheet tab to pull data from a range of cells from the power query tab. The main problem I have is if I load only a few of these pdf's my references will get deleted since the table range is getting removed. I have been trying to find work arounds to this, any help would be appreciated.
I tried to do a Pivot table of this data I need but I am trying to match certain criteria like an invoice and specific words to get a value. This did not work for my situation.
Example of Power Query
this is the data I am pulling that will turn into REF! if I take a pdf out and the rows shrink.

How do I lock an additional column to rows imported from Power Query in Excel 2016 without a unique key column?

I am using Power Query in Excel 2016 to combine data from 12 different workbooks within the same folder system into one table, and need to add an additional column in the master table that tracks the status of each row. However, when I refresh the data, the Status column does not follow the rows to which it is initially applied.
I have already looked at [ Inserting text manually in a custom column and should be visible on refresh of the report ] but this solution only works with a unique ID column. Because each of the 12 workbooks is edited separately and because there is no single column that can be guaranteed to have unique values between all of the different spreadsheets, I don't have a key to join the data to the additional column.
I believe there is always a way of finding a Unique ID. If you can get your head around this, it is not that difficult to solve your problem.
See my below example, I used three sample workbooks saved in a Test folder. Depends on the way you add them to the query editor, in my example I used From Folder and follow the prompts without making any changes and combined the tables automatically. Once combined there is a Source.Name column automatically added. I suggest to leave this column in your output table as it can form part of the Unique ID if your data is highly identical across the workbooks.
An optional step (not in my screenshot) is to add an Index column and concatenate the index number with a product/task name so it can make that specific line of data entry even more unique.
Once you added the Status column with data entered manually on the master table, load the master table back to query editor.
Then go back to the original query (Test (Input) in my example) and merge it with the reloaded output query. See my screen-shot for how to 'uniquely' merge the two tables.
The rest is self-explanatory. I think the key is finding elements of the Unique ID and incorporate it in the merge part.
Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers :)

Reformatting/restructuring/filtering data in existing Excel file and appending/editing to a designated format of another existing excel file

I have a Excel report that I want it to be reformatted, restructured, and filtered into a specific Excel format.
The original Excel report shows repetition of 2 columns per 11 rows like the example below:
row1 : var1 |var2|var3 |(Empty)|var5|var6|var7|var8 |var9|(Empty)|var11|
row2 : (Empty)|var2|(Empty)|var4 |var5|var6|var7|(Empty)|var9|var10 |var11|
I have a designated list of row1:var1 variables and first I need to filter the other data out.
Next I need to filter out the data that I need, which is row1:var1, row2:var2, row1:var7, row2:var10, row1:var11. Then I need to use these data and create them into a row and compare and fix the existing excel file with the designated format according to row1:var1 variable.
For example, if "john" is a common person in both of the excel files(as in row1:var1) but if "john" in my Excel file have different properties(as in all the cell data I need except for row1:var1), I would like to update those properties with the properties of the reporting Excel file.
I have no clue where to start and I would greatly appreciate it if someone can help me out, even a little guidance.
Thank you ahead of the response.

Unwanted duplicate rows in pivot table in Excel

I'm using pivot tables to structure my statistics.
I have recently been making changes to the data set and then created a new pivot table. However, this time there are duplicates in the row labels. For example, there is a duplicate of "1". Before it was 12345678 as row labels, however, currently it is 112345678.
Any idea of what my causing this?
Thanks!
For a pivot table to have information within it, it has to be referencing some data that resembles this... If you can provide a little more information you may get some help but the information provided is very limiting.
Also check out if the data source is all formatted as text or numerics.
