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'...

    You see the relation but Excel doesn't.

     

    Either you create an extra table with your notes and join it to the existing table or you could try this.

@Detif Lewin, I did the example that's in the link and it works great! Thanks again. However, I noticed if I put a hyperlink in the extra columns and do a Data Refresh the text stays but the hyperlink goes away? Any thoughts?

It's the same in the Excel grid. If you do a lookup only the value is returned not the hyperlink.
