over acting query

I want to access to specific table on a shared folder file,

This is my query:

Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("\\ipaddress\folder\subfolder\filename.xlsx"), null, true) {[Name="SheetE"]}[Data]

 

Everything is OK until I add data validation List in "SheetE" from named range in "SheetJ"

 

The query become running to other sheets that i dont want to access...

 

Before i add a data validation List it only access to SheetE

 

Hope PBI Team can fix it, because it effect to query performance

Hi @simp,

 

As you referenced to SheetJ in SheetE, Power Query will creating connection to SheetJ during execution. In your scenario, is there existing any relationshipt between SheetJ and other sheets?

Hi @v-yulgu-msft

There is no relationship between sheets

Here is the screenshot, you can see that the query is also reading to other sheets
