Running Power Query in sharepoint excel in browser/Refreshing data in a workbook in a browser window

‎05-07-2021 11:19 AM

Hi,

I am running a power query in an excel which runs without any trouble

I placed the same excel in an office365  sharepoint location to see if I can run the same refresh from the excel that opens in the browser.Unfortunately I can't.

localExcel_DesktoplocalExcel_Desktop

 

vs

sharepointExcel_BrowsersharepointExcel_Browser

Does anyone know what am I doing wrong? I am trying to ascertain if it possible at all to kick of PQWRY from the browser excel directly rather than refreshing it from the local excel and have that value reflected in the browser excel.

 

I have also tried to do this using Power Automate. Howver, I could not it.

 

Thank you in advance.
