Hi!
Does anyone know a good guidebook, video, etc how to publish Excel workbooks to Sharepoint Online (not SP 2013 etc). Excel workbook uses a Power Query-connection and this workbook needs to refresh data daily via Power Query (tabular model). I need a step-by-step-guide to a newbie : )
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @tuulia ,
Sorry, automatic refresh daily in SharePoint online is unavailable. You can use Refresh when opening or periodically refreshing:
Refresh an external data connection in Excel
Also check out these topics:
Excel web part from list - Autorefresh - SharePoint Stack Exchange
How to autorefresh Pivot table in Excel web access webpart in sharepoint
Also check supported connections and schemes:
Work with external data in Excel Services (SharePoint Server)
Best Regards,

Hi @tuulia ,
Hope this video helps you:

Thank you! I must use a Power Query-connection (live connection to tabular model), so importing data is not an option...
