    Delete an External Connection

    I have imported data from a textfile by using:

    After data was imported, I removed the information by just select the cells and pressed Delete. Then I imported data again. I did this 4 times and now I have 4 connections. I look in userform over 'Existing Connections'. Can I delete the connections?

    yes: Click Data > Connections, select the connection you wish to delete, and click 'Remove'.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...
