Applied steps power query not refreshing when I refresh excel source data

Hi! I have transformed data in a table, with many applied steps in power query. i then added new data to the underlying excel source data sheet and when i click refresh, nothing changes. for example, i applied transformation in power query on 2024 data, then when i added 2023 into the underlying excel and clicked refresh, i still only see 2024 in the table. how do i fix this? thank you so much in advance

  • It would help to see more details.

    Hypothesis - The steps in Power Query are filtering out 2023 data. 

    Investigation - Visually inspect each step,  start by looking at whether 2023 data is imported in the source step.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I agree with HotChilli .

     

    You said you have the table with many steps in power query. You should find the initial step, i.e. without any year filtering, to see if the 2023 data is imported. Then if you want to show data for 2023, it's a good idea to remove the steps like the year filter.
