Default Refresh Data

Once you saved that file as a .csv file, any query you had was lost--were you
writing about Data|Import External Data?

If not, you may want to explain more.

Thank Dave,

Yes. I was writing about Data|Import External Data. If I want to do
refreshing data, what kind of file I should saved to?

I would think you'd want to keep the excel file as a real excel file (*.xls).
Then you could refresh the query when you know the csv file changes.
