I have an Excel file that I wand to be able to do a Data -> Refresh All Connections to update a very simple Power Query script. I have 4 Excel Sheets and a simple Table in each. I have a Power Query script setup to import each table them Append all 4 tables then put the Table on another sheet filtering out NULL. Unfortunately when doing a Refresh online instead of the desktop I get the error message “External Data Refresh Failed – We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook. The following connections failed to refresh.”

I only a found a few very old references to this issue and was hoping someone had a suggestion. In my mind it is not even an External connection as everything is contained in a single sheet. I know Excel desktop sometimes says it is an External connection also if not in a trusted folder. However it seems like there should be a way for this to refresh on the web if all internal to the same file.

Any help thoughts or workarounds?

Thanks
