    If you want the query data to refresh upon a user opening the workbook, then there are ways to do that with VBA: https://office-watch.com/2022/excel-automatic-refresh-recalculation-tricks/

     

    You can also try using Power Automate Desktop to open the files & refresh from there.

     

    Or you can set up the data tables you need in your file & use this video & template to batch update the tables using standard Power Automate cloud flows
