    Re: VBA Recording Power Query not working

    I can't help you to solve this, however it may well have something to do with the code: PQ code is cammed "M" and it is not the same as VBA. I doubt, therefore, that a VBA routine can recognise it.

    Is there any real need for VBA? PQ routines can be automated. I wonder if what you want to do couldn't be achieved a different way.

    Re: VBA Recording Power Query not working

    Good afternoon AliGW

    The main reason I went to VBA is to set up a Marco so other staff members at work would just need to click a few buttons and it would all work

    I did not know PQ routines can be automated I did a search on google and it points me to office 365 ;-(

    You help me a few months ago with pointing me to PQ which has been great learning heaps

    A different any help would be helpful

    After trying to work this out for the last few hours with setting up all the correct PQ
    I have 4 PQ codes that I like to run
    first 3 PQ get information from tables sort rename and remove unneeded columns
    the 4th one mergers everything in a set way


    P.s
    sorry what do you mean by PQ code is cammed "M"

    AliGW

    I think this is a Limit on office 2013

    I just tried the same code

    On the same excel sheet tried office 365 the same way with record macro and worked

    I was reading up on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...r-query-in-vba

    I now get what you mean by PQ code is cammed "M"
