Refresh all connections button click on excel online gives an error

We have configured an excel file with a https://services.odata.org/V3/OData/OData.svc/ on excel 2016 desktop. The data is loaded into the sheet from Queries & Connections tab. Refresh works fine here...

SergeiBaklan - Thanks for the reply. 

> Power Query refresh is not supported by Excel Online

Ok. I could not find any official documentation stating that but I could get to https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/1d4a4875-4492-4efb-b684-d31be99efe0f/data-model-refresh-on-sharepoint-online-with-power-query?forum=sqlkjpowerpivotforexcel#4c154fd2-5dfa-4116-b558-47cb080372dc.

 

> Perhaps something of this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeonlineserver/data-authentication-for-excel-online-in-office-online-server  

 

Thanks for sharing the link. According to this, we need to create a ODC file from the OData service and a custom data provider. Will check more on it.

 

> Alternatively you may load data to data model through PowerPivot connector and return result back using linked-back tables.

 

I didn't completely follow on how would it help to refresh the excel data when it changes in the source which is the OData feed in my case.

 

Thanks.

    Ever get an answer? I'd like to be able to refresh a spreadsheet I use in Sharepoint and use it in reports elsewhere.

      ComputerHabit Still not available. Now in Excel for web you may see list of queries in right pane, but so far not refresh them.
