Power Query - Execute SQL Stored Procedure - Changes cannot be applied

[spms_MF]

Hello,

I have tried and successfully implemented two queries to execute a stored procedure from Power Query. I used the following code:

Execute Stored Procedure:

let

   Source = "EXEC >name of the stored procedure<"

in

   Source

Run Execute:

let

   Source = Sql.Database(">server name<", ">database name<"),

   EXEC = Value.NativeQuery(Source, # "Execute Stored Procedure")

in

   EXEC

Everything works fine, the stored procedure runs successfully (albeit twice? - I don't know why).

When I close Power Query though, the program asks whether to apply or discard changes.
Applying the changes just makes it execute again without actually saving the changes to the query.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help!

PS. I should mention that I am running Version 2.102.845.0 from February 2022. Could that have an impact?

Hi @spms_MF ,

You can indeed try to the latest version to see if the problem persists.

Or maybe you turned off this background refresh option?

And make sure your two option "Enable load" and "Include in report refresh" are turned on.
