    @Wasfi Maybe it worth running VBScript...

     

    ' Create an Excel application object
    Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

    ' Open the Excel workbook
    Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Path\To\Your\Workbook.xlsx")

    ' Refresh all data connections in the workbook
    objWorkbook.RefreshAll
