Flow to update power query in excel

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by TV-23030805-0 2
I have an excel-sheet that i want to automaticly update every morning. 
 
The sheet contains power query connections. 
 
The only solution i have met, is to build a flow in Power Automate Desktop, and set a cloud flow to activate it every morning. 
 
But that requires my pc to be on and logged in. 
 
Does anyone have a solution?

    I had similar requirement, and I did it using Power BI - power query. Within Power BI, we have automatic functionality to refresh power queries, we can schedule it to run daily. Hope this helps.

    So you built the query in power BI instead of excel?

    Yes. The same power query can be built in power BI and can schedule it for refresh daily.
     
    Just keep in mind, you need  Power BI Pro  or Premium Per User (PPU) license to publish, share, or schedule refreshes for these queries in the Power BI Service 
     
     
    Thank you.
