Hi
I have a small issue with some external data in my Excel (365 CTR)
I've connected to a .csv file, and a MSSQL DB - and everything works pico bello ... on my computer.
If I share the document on our network drive, the intended user can't update external data, it says that the connections are missing? If i look in Excel, the connections are there - but it seems like it's referring to itself.
Connection string:
Provider=Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1;Data Source=$Workbook$;Location=Tra, døgn;Extended Properties=""
SQL CMD:
SELECT * FROM [Tra, døgn]
However, If I edit the connection I get this PowerQuery editor window where I can see the source:
Server/Database
SQL CMD:
SELECT
[ProductionDate]
,[ProductionShift]
,[ProductionNet]
FROM [SRODB1].[dbo].[Fix_Print1]
where ProductionDate = CAST(getdate() -1 as date)
And, in the PowerQuery, it looks like it's working.
How/why can't another user update that file when it's saved on a network drive? I've even tried to export the connection properties to the same folder as the document.
Is it because the end user is using an older version of Excel?

SolutionI managed to solve my problem.
I wasn't aware that Excel Power Query was an add on for Excel 2013, when we installed that the workbook worked as intended.
Let's just categorize that as a newbie mistake. 🙂
