Power Query Update Source Table

[kcmuppet]

Hello,

I want to update a table 'Data_Table' based on data from a second source 'Platform_Data' (which is a query from a csv file).

I created a power query who's source is 'Data_Table', added some Replacer.ReplaceValue operations for some of the columns and now want to load the results back to the original table 'Data_Table', but Excel says "Query results cannot overlap a table or XML mapping. Please select another destination".

I don't want create a second, new table somewhere.

What am I doing wrong?

"Rule #13:
"Post the details of your question on our forum. " - check
"Do NOT simply post a link/re-direct to the question in another forum with no details posted here." - check
"Make it clear that you have cross-posted and provide links to the cross-posts." - check (on the other site). Here it was impossible, because you don't allow edit after posted for long enough
