Append Query only refresh one table
In Power Query in the first steps, by clicking on the gear icon. If it's import, just by deselecting the option "Include in report refresh" should do it. On Power Query it queries frequently the data as it gets data previews in order for you to apply steps, but once published, that Table will never get updated.
Thank you.
So I could turn the SQL Server off when I am not editing the report and users are accessing the report and turn it back on when I need to edit the report. Is that correct?
The Append query would still update with the data from TableB (data not from the SQL DB) so the users would see the latest data from the scheduled refresh plus the historical data?
As to my knowledge, SQL Server needs to be turned on just for the connection to stay alive. Since you already indicated that you don't want that table to be refreshed, Power BI will not query against it once the refresh process comes up. If you won't ever need again to do anything with TableA then I would say that yes you can turn it off.
Thank you so much.
