Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Try the following instead...

VBA Code:
    Application.OnTime (Date + 1) + TimeValue("03:30:00"), "Mail_Daily_Log"

Hope this helps!

Unless that line of code is executed more than once, it should only call "Mail_Daily_Log" once. Maybe it might help if you shared all of the relevant code?
