Help me understand where passwords are stored for data connections and how they are accessed.
I've created a couple of spreadsheets with queries connected to network SQL databases. Subsequently, sometimes when I open a new blank spreadsheet and create a new query to the same databases I don't have to enter the password. How/where is Power Query accessing that password from?
We continue to have data connection permission issues when I share spreadsheets with other users on the same network. Sometimes, other users can enter connection details once similar to when I created the query and everything is fine and sometimes they have to enter it every time they open/Refresh All the query. I'm thinking that if I better understand where those connection details are stored and how they are accessed I can troubleshoot the sporadic connection issues.
