Power Query does not work in excel online, only in excel desktop app unfortunately.

I sometimes get this error. Has the saving cycle to SharePoint fully completed? If not, you might get rejected message. I always check for the word ‘Saved’ next to the file name, top-left, before running a Refresh All.
