Where is the source of data for that Power Query from the file you are opening in Excel Online?

I sometimes get this error. Has the saving cycle to SharePoint fully completed? If not, you might get rejected message. I always check for the word ‘Saved’ next to the file name, top-left, before running a Refresh All.
