I have a large source file that is compiled three times a week. The file goes to a SharePoint folder and is sourced from there. I want to be able to query the file as it updates but keep the old query and merge a few columns to be able to see changes in a few select columns. I can run a query to determine the order the queries are run, but I still get the update on the file I do not want to change. 

Any thoughts?

Hi Jess,

Why not duplicate the query, run the copy to see the changes, and run the main query only if you still want to run it.
