Hello Everyone,
I need guidance with an issue I'm confronted with in power query.
I have 3 tables in Excel that are appended using power query. The issue I'm facing is after updating the tables with fresh data and refreshing the query. The consolidated table gets updated however the same table gets appended the number of times refresh is hit causing duplication of data.
Please advise how can I prevent this duplication irrespective of the number of times the report refresh is hit.

Thanks and Regards,
Dev
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Would need to see each query statement. You might apply an extra append somewhere?

Pardon me if I cant link to youtube, but are you struggling with the recursion issue he mentions here with the table trying to re-upload itself?
