Below, I have an Excel VBA statement that takes 20 MINUTES to complete:


Selection.ListObject.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False


Versus, when I right-click the query table in the sheet and manually hit "Refresh" - it only takes 10 SECONDS to complete!


What's the deal? Is the VBA statement inadequate?
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).

you can try like this
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Selection.ListObject.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True


Worked for me.
