Hi,
Is it possible to delete a power query via Excel interop? Or stop it refreshing?
My process is Open spreadsheet, Refresh all (get the latest data from SQL Server), Delete connections, send to internal customer.
But I do not want the power query to still be there.
Alternatively is there a different option from power query (and VAB) to call a SQL Stored proc.
Thanks

Hi, I have a similar problem to yours I think, After fetching the data I need to return to the internal client a copy of the modified Excel file, but I need to remove the query from the Queries & Connections tab so the client doesnt see them at all. Would you mind sharing how you removed them from being visible - I removed the connections so even if its refreshed it wont work, but I want him to not be able to see it. Would you mind helping me out if you are able to.
Hi,
Sorry. This is straight-forward. Amend a connection from table to sql to call a stored proc. My existing code will work, which deletes all connections in an excel workbook.
