# How to Refresh the Report Data for a New Fiscal Year

## Learn how to update the fiscal year in your Excel report's API link and refresh the data in five steps

If your Excel report is showing data for the wrong fiscal year, you need to update the fiscal year parameter in Power Query and refresh the data. This guide walks you through each step.

The most common use case is updating the report from FY2025 to FY2026.

---

### Step 1: Go to the Source Data Tab

- Open the Excel report
- Navigate to the Source Data worksheet
- Right-click anywhere in the data table

- Click Refresh All to refresh the available data

**Important:** Before refreshing the data, confirm that the API link in Power Query contains the correct fiscal year. Follow the steps below before clicking Refresh All.

---

### Step 2: Open Power Query

- Go to the Data tab in the Excel ribbon
- Select Queries and Connections

- Locate the query used to retrieve the report data
- Right-click the query and select Edit

This will open the query in Power Query Editor.

---

### Step 3: Update the Fiscal Year in the API Link

- In Power Query Editor, locate the Source step in the Applied Steps panel on the right side of the screen

- Look at the API link in the formula bar at the top. It will look similar to this:

`https://api.aclarian.com/v1/budgeting/reports/BudgetActualReportOData?fiscalYear=2025&api-key=[API-KEY]`

- Find the following parameter in the link:

`fiscalYear=2025`

- Change 2025 to the fiscal year you want to retrieve. For example, to pull data for fiscal year 2026, update it to:

`fiscalYear=2026`

**Important:** Only change the year number after `fiscalYear=`. Do not modify any other part of the link.

---

### Step 4: Apply the Changes

- After updating the fiscal year, click Done or confirm the change
- In Power Query Editor, click Close and Load

- Wait for Excel to finish loading the updated data

---

### Step 5: Refresh the Report

Once the updated data has loaded:

- Return to the Source Data tab
- Right-click anywhere in the data table

- Go to the Data tab in the Excel ribbon
- Click Refresh All

The report and all connected PivotTables will update with data for the selected fiscal year.

---

### Quick Reference

Use this table to confirm the correct value to enter in the API link for each fiscal year.

| Fiscal Year Needed | Value in API Link |
| --- | --- |
| 2025 | fiscalYear=2025 |
| 2026 | fiscalYear=2026 |
| 2027 | fiscalYear=2027 |

---

### Important Reminder

Always confirm that the value after `fiscalYear=` matches the fiscal year you want to display in the report before refreshing the data. Refreshing with the wrong fiscal year will load the wrong data into your report.
