Retain cell formatting after data refresh in Power Query Excel












0














I want to retain the column width and cell formatting whenever I refresh data in Power Query.



Data formatting under Table Tools > Design > External Table Data > Properties> unchecking "Adjust column width" does not work. Even after checking both "Preserve cell formatting" and "Preserve column sort/filter/layout"



Any work around?
