    Index Match formula changing my Index daily

    So I am pulling data from a webpage on one tab and I am Index matching on another tab to get data from the table it is generating. I have the tab refreshing every 3 minutes to keep the data fresh. Everything is fine all day, however, when I close the sheet and open it back up in the morning my Index is completely wrong. For example my formula is
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    however when I open it up in the morning it may look like this

    Hi,

    I seem to remember coming across this several years ago.

    Are you using the Data Connection functionality and is BY the last column of the previous set brought in.

    If so I think it's probably because the cursor position has changed to BZ and hence the data is being imported to BZ.

    I am using that, I have many other worksheets that use the same pull data from web function with the same type of index,match formula and it never changes. I wasn't sure if there was something I didn't know about happening going on here. So the from web data basically pulls the webpage I dictate the table off said page and it inserts the table in "A1" and overwrites the data that was in there previously. As I stated before I have many other worksheets that does this with the same formula getting data from the tables and they don't change my formulas. I was hoping there may have been a setting or something I wasn't aware of causing this issue.

    not on event, it just refreshes every 3 minutes. That is under the Data tab, connections, properties.
