Hi all,
I setup my xlsx file with several queries pointo to .csv files on the network.
For various reasons it can sometimes happen that the structure of the targrt files changes (misisng column, different column name...)
When this occours, obviously Excel displays a <<danger>> sign beside the Query Name.
This was great when I was running the update myself manually and had the file open in front of me.
Now that I have automated the refresh of the excel file with the following PowerShell script, I am not getting any warning message anymore, even if I try to capture the messages with the try...catch function. Can an email be triggered instead from Excel?
Do you have any ideas?
And also: I am not sure this [wb.RefreshAll()] is the best code to refresh all queries and all pivots, any suggestions?
Thank you
$folderPath = "I:\Technical_Training\PUBLIC\REPORT\SF_SFTP_Data\Report_Output\PROD"

$doesexist = Test-Path ($folderPath + "\" + $dateString)
if($doesexist){
Copy-Item -Force ($folderPath + "\" + $dateString + "\*") -Destination $folderPath
}else{
Write-Host "Folder does not exits"
}

Hi @Anonymous ,
Basde on my research, we cannot achieve that in power query. However we can make it in Power bi service. Please refer to the online document.
