I used to import tab separated text files as a range in previous version of Excel. I can still do it by enabling the "legacy" import wizard in Excel 2019; I can't find an easy way to achieve my end with the new power query of Excel 2019. I systematically get an Excel table which is not what I want. Although it is possible to convert the table as a range afterwards (In Design -> Convert as range); this will break the connection to the text file and so it won't refresh if the file change. Anyone has a solution? There are lots of options in this new power query I may have missed something.
