Disable automatic updates of excel file

Riny_van_EekelenYes in Power Query. So according to your suggestion the process would be:
1. Open Excel file and it will update automatically
2. Save a copy of the excel file and uncheck the automatically refresh from all power query connections

You may right click on returned by Power Query table and disconnect table from it.
Table will be disconnected forever and Power Query will be shifted to Connection only mode.
