Automating Weekly Refresh for Multiple Excel Files in SharePoint with Power Automate Cloud

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 58
Hi everyone, could someone help me automate the refreshing (clicking the refresh button) of multiple Excel files (regardless of the number of files) in a SharePoint Site folder? This should happen weekly on Wednesday at 6 a.m. How can I achieve this? I would prefer to use Power Automate Cloud.
I don't see a step called "Refresh" in the Excel Online for Business section.

I simply need the automation flow to trigger the refresh button.

Thank you in advance👍

    Hey 

    Quick question: Do you think Power automate is the Best way to do this? 
     
    With VBA code or even in the options you can make sure that the Data gets refreshed automatically when the file is oppened.
