Power Query/Overwrite cell question
- 1 year ago
I didn't actualy get the problem solved. I did find an easy workaround. If some of you could actually see what its doing , I expect you could fix it. I am probably not doing a good enough job of describing it. But I am in a good spot with the form now. I appreciate the help. I am actually having a different issue that I may post when I have a chance.

Hi Missippy , Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.
Since the "Overwrite Cells" setting does not persist automatically in your Excel version, the best solution is to use VBA to enforce it every time you refresh queries. You can use the macro provided by SacheeTh , which ensures all queries overwrite cells when refreshed. If you prefer a manual method, consider converting your queries to tables, as Excel automatically overwrites table rows.
