Thank you, it's very informative. I've actually tried to do it this way, and get data from the document itself by doing Get Data-from Excel.

Hi Bertuccio ,
For heavily-used Excel files, I would recommend looking into using Power Automate Flows to detect when the modified date of the file changes on SharePoint, then copy it to your own 'safe' location elsewhere on SharePoint.
This should ensure you always have the most recently-edited version of the file in a no-lock environment.
