Automatic page refresh not working on appended table?

I have 2 sql sources imported with direct query.

Needs to be direct query so automatic page refresh works.

And on these 2 sources files it works perfect. However I need to append these 2 sources in 1 main table.

 

Now this is what happens :

The change detection is on the quantity field of the Pick/Pack source table.

As you see both the Pick and Done tables did refresh but the appended (Combined) table did not.

Find this very strange as it is appended and the 2 tables it consists out are updated!

Why does the appended table then not update??

 

Thought it had to do with the fact that the change detection field is not in the combined visual but....:

 

The field updates in the combined visual but the lines do not!! 

 

Does anybody know what is going on here?

The dataset on which all visuals are based is updated but the visual on the appended data does not update for some reason.

Also when in desktop I look in the table for the appended data and the lastes timestamp is not there.

 

So the auto refresh is not on the dataset but on the direct query source only somehow??

It is not the same as this button?

    Hi TanviC24 ,

    Yes actually I do.

    The sql sources are both the same layout and both have an unique ID (number) for every line:

    And as a result of course the appended file also had that same ID.

     

  • As I can see, the ID field is integer/numeric and your total also match in the appended table.

    Can you check if by any chance your ID field is getting summarized in the appended table.

      Well did not change anything there so that indeed was automatically set to summarize:

      Think that this would be the problem?
      So need to set all the ID's to not summarize?

        Yes, you need to set all ID's to not summarize. 

        I think & hope this will resolve your issue.
