How can you tell if a query is a reference or duplicate query?

HI, I have some queries set up which I believe are dupliate and they are all set to refresh on load....However, I noticed one that did not and suspect that its an error and its a reference query (?)

 

Is there a property or attribute that allows you to extinguish between the 2 types of query? I could see anthing specific in properties?


Thanks in advance.

If you use the Advanced Editor to look at the code for the query, the Source line will be the name of the referenced query in a reference query. 

 

let
Source = #"Some Query Name"

Sorry - Whats the difference then? Is there no # for a duplicate query?

Well, a duplicate query is just going to be exactly the same as your original query, same exact code, so perhaps something like:

 

let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCvYOVTBU0lEyNVCK1YFwjYBcQwME3xjER5I3AfKNQPKxAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [SKU = _t, Weight = _t]),
