Add a column to a Query that the end user can edit and is linked to that row information

Copper Contributor

I have a dynamic worksheet that I have taken from our internal data base. Then I have pulled a power query to bring all the new file numbers as they get added. Then built out each column using index and match formula to look up the information I needed  all of this works great.

 

The big problem is I want a blank column that the end user can edit and add notes related to each row in the table. When I refresh or sort they disappear or move around the sheet, even though it is a table ??? Please help !!!

 

Here are some of the references that I have tried and none have been successful. Using Excel 2016

 

New rows do get added to my table upon refresh and information is always changing the columns

That trick is definitely works, it is 5-years old on was tested quite many times on different files, Key point you have to have unique ID for the data.
