    Read cell from power query

    Hello

    Rather than using this code in PQ at the beginning of the each query

    How can I store that cell value into PQ and call it from all queries? rather than add it to all queries

    Cool Re: Read cell from power query

    you can use named range instead of table
    this is a very simple example where you can use query Value in every other queries

    Re: Read cell from power query

    You are still using Table in the worksheet and call it in PQ
    I want to use the one cell named range "PPath" and save it in PQ
    then I will call it from other queries in the source step to put the dynamic path
    example

    Re: Read cell from power query

    Update:
    This will work and I can call "PPath" from all queries to get the dynamic URL
    but I have to edit the privacy settings in all PC that will use the file

    is that any way to do it better that changing the settings?

    Re: Read cell from power query

    as I said you can use named range instead of the table, read posts carefully

    you only need to change privacy settings once or ask PQ manufacturers
