When I refresh my workbook, the following message pop-ups : "The query returned more data than will fit on a worksheet"? I have around 30 Sheets which have connections to external queries. How to check from which sheet this error is coming and how to solve it?

THanks!

In the External Data Properties for each data connection where it says: "If the number of rows in the data range changes upon refresh" try the setting "Insert entire rows for new data, clear unused cells."
