I have noticed in the past week that all my files in Excel take forever to refresh data. I have connections in Power Query that I have been refreshing on these files for sometime now, and they have never taken this long before. It''s not just with one report, it is with all 4 of my reports that I have. I have let my computer sit for almost 2hrs trying to refresh data, and the wheel is still spinning. Any ideas of why this could be?
Like I said, this has never happened before. I've refreshed data from the reports in the past and it's never taken this long. Usually it would take 2 minutes at the most.
