How can I create a query that points to a worksheet in my current file? If I use

Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook()

This returns just a list of Tables, not Sheets.

I need to get the same effect as File.Contents but for the CurrentWorkbook.

What is the syntax for this?

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Yes, this is one of the very strange things: Sheets are only shown if accessed "from outside".

So you do just that: Access the sheet from your current file by opening it (from outside) again: Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("FilepathOfCurrentFile.xlsx"), null, true)

Forgot to mention that this means that the file needs to be saved after you've updated the content of your sheet (as it is a look from outside to your current file).
