Refresh Query automatically Excel PowerQuery
Hello,
I have a Query combining multiple Excel file which lie on a network drive of our company. I saw the possibility of refreshing the Query periodically (see picture). WIll this query refresh e.g. every 60 min, even if Excel is not opened or my laptop is off?
Hi o0omax ,
Refresh every x minutes – This option controls how often a query is refreshed. This only operates if the workbook is open. It is useful when the source data is regularly changing. It is probably a good idea only to use this option with the background refresh enabled, or it could become very annoying for users to wait for Excel to update on a regular basis.
