Query Gallery in Excel Add-in
When you need to reuse the same query in multiple Excel workbooks or just want to store it somewhere for future use, you can save your query to Query Gallery. The saved queries are stored in Skyvia (not in Excel) and are available both from Skyvia and from Skyvia Query Excel Add-in.
In addition to your own queries, Query Gallery stores a number of predefined public queries to different data sources.

-
Click Save in the Query Editor. If you use an already saved query, you may then click Save to overwrite it or Save As to save the current query under a new name.
