Why is my Excel sheet not refreshing data from an external source?

< 1 min read

  1. Check the Data Connections
    – Check if the data source is correctly specified in ‘Data Connections’ and that you have permission to access.

  2. Inherit DataConnections in workbook
    – If the data connection already exists in another workbook, try to inherit the data connections from the former workbook.

  3. Reconnect
    – It is possible to reconnect or edit the data connection in ‘Data Connections’. Try to reconnect.

  4. Disable Automatic Calculation
    – Check the Excel Settings if the ‘Automatic Calculation’ is enabled. If it is enabled, disable it and save the changes.

  5. Refresh Data Connection
    – Try to click the ”Refresh Data” button to get the updated info.
