Looking for recommendations on how I could replace a pdf in one file so that power query can replace the table on excel. And when I replace the pdf, it refreshes with new values.
Any recommended videos or tutorials that can do this? Chat gpt ain't helping

I’m not sure you can have it auto populate the PDF. You would need to load the PDF in excel and manually select the table each time in PQ.

A pdf of an excel spreadsheet only captures what is in the file at that time. If you update the spreadsheet you will need to save a new pdf.

The idea is- power query picks up a table from a pdf doc.

When you replace the pdf doc with a new version of the pdf, I want to be able to hit refresh on excel so that it automatically updates the content.

Is this a possibility?

Check out Power Automate Desktop on YouTube.

You can't do it

That being said, you can MIMIC it - everytime a new update is made in the table, you can save (overwrite) a new version. This can be accomplished in both an editable and non-editable pdf - but it will require you to do some coding; the platform which you code is up to you (I'd do a macro/cmd and automate it)
