Hi All
Need Your help
I have a simple table
Excel Sheet 1
Job Operating Unit | Sum_Net Revenue | Right_Sum_Net Revenue | Daily Revenue | Daily Avg. MTD |
A | 293,839 | 245,410 | 48 | 27 |
B | 1,678,294 | 1,489,653 | 189 | 153 |
C | 559,429 | 462,800 | 97 | 51 |
Excel Sheet 2
Job OU | Revenue | Daily Avg. MTD | Manual Column 1 | Manual Column 2 |
='Daily Rev'!A2 | ='Daily Rev'!D2 | ='Daily Rev'!E2 | 29.24 | 25.67 |
='Daily Rev'!A3 | ='Daily Rev'!D3 | ='Daily Rev'!E3 | 198.86 | 221.1 |
='Daily Rev'!A4 | ='Daily Rev'!D4 | ='Daily Rev'!E4 | 48 | 46.29 |
Excel Sheet 2 is connect to Power BI , but BI desktop not refresh new values in Excel Sheet 2 ( when my Excel Sheet 1 updates via Alteryx)?
Any reason why?
Is your Excel sheet 2 connected to a Live dataset in Power BI where the Excel sheet 1 is used?
can you explain what you mean when it updates via alteryx?
so alterx updates sheet 1
power bi is connected to excel 2?
how is this connected, please can you provide more information, its not clear what the problem is.

yes i have validated excel has updated, but values are not reflected in BI
Hi @luisClive ,
Did you save your Excel sheet 2 after it was updated? In my testing, Excel sheet 2 is updated automatically when Excel sheet 1 is changed, but the data in power bi desktop which comes from sheet 2 won't refresh until I have saved the Excel file. When you click Refresh button in power bi desktop, it always tries to get data from the last saved file.

Yes I did save
when i open excel, I see values changed, but power query still displays OLD values.
if I connect to sheet 1 , i have no problems
when i connect to Sheet 2 ( which has simple cell linking formulas and additional columns) power bi does not update
so i am trying to understand how Power Bi Treats excel file with formulas
Additional info
Sheet 1 is constanly overwritten by Alteryx ( as and when i run it)
Hi @luisClive ,
When Power BI imports data from an Excel file with formulas, it will bring in columns of values calculated by the formulas.
I use your sample data and formulas in a regular Excel workbook without using Alteryx to test this. When I click either Refresh Preview in Power Query Editor or Refresh button in Power BI Desktop, I can always see the latest data from both sheet 1 and sheet 2. Everything works well. So I'm not sure if Alteryx will have some influence on this?
