pq-sync VS Code Extension

Sync Power Query M code between Excel workbooks and .pq files directly from VS Code.

Windows only. The sync scripts depend on COM automation for Excel open-file detection.

Install

Search pq-sync in the VS Code Extensions sidebar, or:

ext install ricardodiaz.pq-sync

pq-sync: Pull from Excel — extracts Power Query M code from the configured workbook into .pq files.
pq-sync: Push to Excel — imports .pq files back into the configured workbook.
pq-sync: Configure — interactively pick the workbook and mcode folder; stored in workspace settings.
Right-click a .pq file → Push this query to push a single named query.
Right-click the mcode folder → Pull from Excel / Push to Excel for the whole folder.

Routes through COM when the workbook is open in Excel; falls back to direct XLSX read/write when closed.

Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Run pq-sync: Configure — pick your .xlsx workbook, then the folder containing .pq files.
Run pq-sync: Pull from Excel or pq-sync: Push to Excel.

Output appears in the pq-sync Output Channel. Status bar shows sync state.
