Hi there,
I have a quick question.
Is there a fast way to keep table "offline"?
One of the tables is an Excel file import from SharePoint.
I would like to " disconnect" it from source so it won't refresh, but keep that table as static dataset.
Is there a quick way to do it or I should create new table with data from Excel.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @MasterSonic ,
Please try:
From SharePoint, open the file in excel
Copy the file path and remove"? web=1" to look like URL below:
Choose your authentication method, for this example I am choosing Organizational account.
Then load the data

@MasterSonic , In power query, Right click on table and disable "include in incremental refresh" and try if that can help
