Use an open Excel Workbook To Sum Rows and Columns of Multiple Closed Workbooks That Are in the same folder

Is it possible to sum rows and columns of multiple closed excel workbooks that are saved to the same folder and have an identical structure?

I have many workbooks with one sheet and an identical worksheet structure. I'd like to sum the rows and columns of all the closed workbooks so that my open workbook has consolidated all of the closed workbooks. Similar to the image below. It's my understanding and validated through testing that sumif and sumifs can not handle sum data from a closed workbook.

I did some additional research and learned that workbook consolidation can be accomplished with PowerQuery. Excel MVP, Gasper Kamensek, has produced a great YouTube video that walks you through the process step-by-step. I have completed the process two different times and it works perfectly. Here's a link to the video:
