Refresh Data join with extra Excel columns
I have a table that is linked to my database table. I've added some extra related columns in my worksheet. When I click Refresh Data the added columns become out of sync. Any thoughts? Wasn'...
I setup the self-referencing table and it worked great. I tried to add another column next to notes column that contains a formula but every time I refresh the data the formula is replaced with just value of the formula. Is there not a way to have formula persist during a refresh data?
I believe that is the culprit with self-referencing tables. You are joining the table with itself and at that point any formula you created on the Excel side is converted to its value.
Try to create the formula on the PQ side.
- I notice that I have to refresh the first table that is connected to database, and then a 2nd time to refresh the 2nd table. I figured all I would need to do is one Refresh All but I have to do 2 of them. Am I understanding that correctly? Not a big deal, just curious.
- Thanks for the help!
