    Hi pigsinblankets ,

    In fact I've been testing for the past few days, from the refresh settings on the Service to the settings for the data source, but unfortunately I haven't figured out a solution.
    In Power BI Service, you can't do it if you want to do a manual refresh yourself, you can only disable refresh for others after you share it with others.
    If you want to implement static reporting, you can choose to use the import mode to connect to a data source without having to configure a gateway for that data source after publishing to the Service, so that even if new content is added to the data source and you refresh it, the content of the report will not change.

    Best Regards,
