Refresh data on a merged query not updating new data

I have created a merged query in power query which worked perfectly (added a column in excel sheet to a sql model).

Then when I added new source data to the excel, and refreshed, the data itself updates fine in the new table (table_excel), however it is not pulled into the other table (table_sql) where the query was added. I've tried refreshing in table view and transform data view, and the query just wont add the new data. 

 

Any help?

Things to check:

  • is the new table being referenced in the merged query?
  • Are the new columns expanded in the merged query?
  • Subsequen steps that might have removed these columns?

  1. Go to the Manage Queries pane in Power BI and ensure that both table_sql and table_excel are correctly linked in the data model.
  2. Refresh the entire data model, not just the table. Right-click on the data model in Power BI and select "Refresh All".
  3. Try clearing the data model cache via File > Options > Data Load > Clear cache.
