issue with sharing an excel sheet - the power query is gone

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello,

 

I'm sharing an Excel (Mac) sheet with a power query

The query includes a link to an external CSV

Then I share the sheet with the excel built in share - send email functionality

When the recipient opens the sheet, the original  power query is gone and it's substituted by another one

I also tried to save the Excel sheet with save as... macro enabled, but it didn't change anything.

 

Is this a bug, or intended behaviour?

 

How can I fix this?

 

Thanks

Zin

    Hi Gao,

    as you can see in the 2nd screenshot, my power query uses as source

    Csv.Document(Web.Contents("https://xxx.blob.core.windows.net/yyy/yyy_orders.csv?sv=2021-10-04&st=2023-06-27T12%3A05%3A09Z&se=2053-06-28T12%3A05%3A00Z&sr=b&sp=r&sig=zzzz"), [Delimiter = ",", Columns = 10, Encoding = 65001, QuoteStyle = QuoteStyle.None]),

     

    So, I'm using a link to a csv residing in an Azure blob. The data is not on my local machine. I don't understand why this is not transferred when sharing. Can't I simply share an XLS with an embedded PQ using data from the web?
