    • You can have your data refresh automatically when the file is opened, at timed intervals, or in the background by clicking Data Range Properties Button image on the External Data toolbar and selecting or clearing options under Refresh control.

    • If the data returned to your worksheet after a refresh isn't what you expected, check the Web page you are querying to make sure it is in the same location and that the data on it is provided in the same way as when you created the query.
