Hi,

I have a several queries from PowerQuery, and I need to refresh only specific one (by click on button).

I tried it by VBA but I don´t have a success:(.

Can you help me with correct VBA code?

Check out "DATA - Connections" for its real name in the file,

or use such a snippet to traverse the whole Connections set,

 

Sub DisplayNames()
    For Each qry In ThisWorkbook.Connections
        Debug.Print qry.Name
    Next qry
End Sub

 


Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

Corect syntax for refresh one specific Query by VBA is:

SUB Macro_Name()
ThisWorkbook.Connections("Query – Name of Query").Refresh
End Sub

Hi Kopec,

 

I am using your code and replace the query name but keep getting the following error. Would you please enlighten me, thank you

 

Run-time error '9'" 
Subscript out of range

Update to my own question:

 

I have found using a wrong variable name and that's what Error '9' is telling me. You may use the following code to run the list all of your connections/queries and I simply missed we need to add "Query - " in front of your query name, i.e. query name as QueryReport then it should be "Query - QueryReport". Hope this helps anyone with the same problem, thank you

 

Sub ListAllQueriesandConnection()

Dim conn As WorkbookConnection

For Each conn In ActiveWorkbook.Connections

Debug.Print conn.Name

Next

End Sub
