SharePoint List Export to Excel Not Updating After Refresh

Hello,

 

My SharePoint list had 3.5k rows and recently did a huge cleanup and deleted almost half of it. It now currently has 1.6k items.

I have exported that SharePoint list to an excel file but when I hit Refresh All in the file, it still has 3.5k line items and still hasn't updated. I did the update around 2pm CST yesterday, and as of writing this it is currently 8:30am CST the next day.

 

I don't understand how when I export to CSV, everything is updated but when I export a new file to Excel or when I refresh my old export that is still linked to my SharePoint list, it isn't updating.

 

Please help. 

 

Thank you!

    Check the Overwrite existing data when refreshing in Excel, or you can set up a timed synchronization with Power Automate.
