Get only unhidden columns in excel without manual selection in Query

Hi,

 

Is there any option to not get hidden columns in excel?

I have 100 columns such a lot but only 10 columns in use so I want to get only 10 of them. 

* the columns orders or format is chaning often so can't expect which columns would be hidden/unhidden every time so manual column selection in query won't help.

 

my previous question still unresolved.

Hello @jeongkim ,

 

you can use the choose columns in power query to only choose the columns you need.
