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

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.

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


Worked for me.
