The option to close the query and load the data it returns.
You then go back into the query to tweak it, and want to change how you load the data. How can you do this? The only answer I can find is shown below.
First, make sure that you have the Power Query Workbook Queries pane visible in Excel:

Click on the Show Pane tool on the Power Query tab of the Excel ribbon.

Click on the three dots shown to edit load options.
When you click on the three dots on the right, you can change how your query loads:

You can now change this option to load the data in a different way.
Here's the sort-of dialog box which appears:
