Link two workbooks on a sharepoint

Copper Contributor

Hi 

Is there a way of automatically updating a query connection in a workbook saved in a sharepoint folder.

 

I've created a connection from our Access Database. To update/sync it, I would open the workbook in a browser / Open in Desktop App / Under Data tab I click to refresh.

 

When I just open the workbook in a browser and go to Data / Refresh Selected Connection, I get the following error

 

"The current selection is not within a refreshable region of the workbook. Select a refreshable region, such as a PivotTable, before clicking on the Refresh Selected Connection button."

 

Ideally, I'd like for it to refresh automatically when opening without any extra steps. When I set this option, I get the same error. I'd rather users didn't need to open the workbook in a desktop app. The data is very basic without any features that would necessitate opening it in a Desktop app... well apart from the connection refresh.

 

Please advise.

 

Thank you

Marcin
