Importing PDF into Excel using VBA

Easy Peasy with Power Query which is part of your native excel.

So I was able to record a macro and get the code for my Power Query PDF Import.

This works pretty well for a known PDF page count, but I am wondering how to execute this for a dynamic PDF. The structure in the PDF will be the same, but the number of pages could differ

I am new to Power Query code, but I am thinking it needs to be something along the lines of this process:

1. User selects a file. That file is stored as the Data Source for that import. PDF Filename will change each time
2. VBA code reads number of tables in selected PDF file via Pdf.Tables(File.Contents(""" & PDF_Path & """), [Implementation=""1.3""]) (I can do this with Advanced Editor Power Query M script, but need it in code)
3. Queries are created (or run from stored queries) based on the number of tables.
4. Data is entered into Excel via ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add commands for each query

The dynamic part is what I am having issues with. Is it possible to store a data Souce via VBA, then use that for queries and have all the variables in the query be dynamic? Same for entering into Excel

Any good examples of this?
