I have a spreadsheet set up that when it opens, runs a macro that copies and pastes old data, then runs power query to import new data. I then have 2 tables one to show the new data nad one to show th deltas from the old data.

Is there a way to automate this so it happens every day without any interaction from me? I have power automate and he used it to run thing in the cloud before but I'm unsure if it will open spreadsheets and run macros in the cloud.

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Just doing a Google search it appears you could use Microsoft's 'Task Scheduler' to open the file as a set time.
