Append Query

Very new to Power BI.

I have used Append query to combine two tales from SharePoint lists.

When I update the source tables the Append query is not updated even when I republish. Is that the case or am I missing something?

 

Regards

James

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Have you ever refreshed your data?

vjianbolimsft_0-1666919002705.png 

Whenever you refresh data, Power BI must query the underlying data sources, possibly load the source data into a dataset, and then update any visualizations in your reports or dashboards that rely on the updated dataset. The entire process consists of multiple phases, depending on the storage modes of your datasets.

You can perform a one-time, manual refresh in Power BI Desktop by selecting Refresh on the Home ribbon. When you select Refresh here, the data in the file’s model is refreshed with updated data from the original data source. This kind of refresh, entirely from within the Power BI Desktop application itself, is different from manual or scheduled refresh in Power BI, and it’s important to understand the distinction.

 

Best Regards,

Jianbo Li
