Archiving Workbooks with Power Query References
I have a workbook which has data sources, processing and formatting done behind the scenes with Power Query.
I'd like to create an archive copy of the workbook, but I don't want it access refreshes automatically or accidentally. Ideally, I'd like to save the working file as an archive copy, then "turn off" query aspects which would look for current data.
I know I could copy and paste as values all the data, but I'd like to avoid that if possible. I'm considering scripting for that, but I don't have a lot of experience with scripting.
