Posted on by SA_VOH 231
I would like to perform some activity in a Excel Worksheet. Basically i want to Refresh Power Query (but not using Macro).
 
i.e. i need some automation which opens a Excel file and then goes to > Data Tab > Click Refresh All. Can i automate this activity using some recorder.

    Yes, PAD has a recorder.  Make sure to go slow and wait for the red rectangles to zero in on the button(s) you want captured for each click...good luck.

    Hi MichaelAnnis,

    It would be great if you could suggest some video solutions to this problem, on Youtube etc.
