power BI import data life

Hi,

I have a power BI report that is using import to get data from a SQL database.

Because of space limitations we're thinking of deleting the table in SQL. I was wondering will this delete the already imported data in power BI?

  • No, not if it is imported but you'd better make sure to right-click the query in Query Editor and uncheck "Include in report refresh" so that you don't accidentally refresh and wipe out all of your info.
