My knowledge of the ipad is limited to the essentials (to put it mildly). But during my research I came across the following information, which I am sending you.

* It is better to have an imprecise answer than none at all (Nikolino).

On the Data tab, in the Connections group, click Update All. To update only the selected data, click Update. You can also right-click a cell in the range or table, and then click Update.

NikolinoDE soory for late reply 😳

many thank‘s for your research, but it is still not working. In the iPad-version there‘s a data-tab but you‘ve got only 4 options under this tab and unfortunately no refresh-button like in the desktop-version.

In the meantime i accepted that currently there‘s no possibility to use the moibile Excel-version for my purposes.

Once again many thank‘s & Regards
