Hi,

 

I am connecting to an external excel workbook.

 

On second event,

I already complete transform data then it shows nicely the view i need - saved it as A.xlsx in folder AA. I pull a new file B.xlsx into the same folder AA and refresh the A.xlsx but the table did not capture the new file B.xlsx information in it. Wondering why is it?

Hi @sueannwee 

 

Sorry for the late reply. Did you succeed to resolve the first problem?

 

For the second question, I guess what you want is to get data from multiple files in a folder, so you can go to Get Data > From File > From Folder. After getting all files listed in a table, you need to combine them into a single query. Power Query can do this for you automatically, please refer to 

Import data from a folder with multiple files (Power Query) (microsoft.com)

Hi @sueannwee 

 

Are you connecting to an external Excel workbook or connecting to the current workbook? Would this happen if you connect to a Text or CSV file?
