Recommendation - refresh data without formatting

Format content in Microsoft Excel using data formats.

If formatting is applied to cells and the refreshed data shifts, the cell formatting does not move to the new location. This can change the meaning of data.

If you use extensive formatting, refresh data without formatting so that the changes you make are not overwritten by formatting changes in the original report.

Note: While you can copy or move imported elements between worksheets by using Windows Copy and Paste commands, you cannot properly refresh the source data on the copied content. Similarly, you cannot refresh content on a new worksheet that was copied from an existing worksheet. The report elements on the copied worksheet are no longer linked to the source data. You must reimport the report or report element on the new worksheet to properly refresh the source data.
