Hi

How many number of queries / connections can a excel workbook can have?  Is there any limitation on number of queries?

I have created around 50 queries in an excel workbook (though data are small - file size is 600 kb only) and it takes lot of

time for my laptop to open power query editor.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm not aware of a published limitation on the number of queries

Power Query specifications and limits - Excel (microsoft.com)

I imagine the slowness is due to 50 queries being evaluated.  If you only have 1 query I'd think it'd open much quicker.

Can you do anything to reduce the number of queries?

Regards

Phil

Hi Phil

Thanks for reply.

I have monthly trial balances from 4 divisions of a company.  I created query for each trial balance which added upto 55 queries!!!

And I appended these 55 queries adding one more query.  Is there any other way to model this?

Thanks and rgds.

You could try checking the Fast Data Load option to see if that helps?
