Simultaneous Refresh?
hello ybarsabal
When a Power BI dataset refresh overlaps with an ongoing dataflow refresh, the dataset will use the last successfully committed version of the dataflow, avoiding partial data scenarios
Power BI dataflow refreshes are transactional, meaning changes are committed only if the entire refresh succeeds. If a dataflow refresh fails or is interrupted, no partial data is saved—the dataflow remains in its last stable state. This ensures datasets never reference incomplete or corrupted data.
If this is helpful please accept the answer
Oh, ok, that's reassuring. Do you know if datasets (semantic models) can partially refresh? Just today I had a dataset that said the refresh was complete, but one of the tables was definitely empty.
Power BI datasets (semantic models) are designed to refresh atomically, meaning all data updates either fully succeed or fail without partial commits
