Hi
I have like 20 charts based on a Azure database
Every night I upload 200.000+ rows, these data is not updated automaticly.
I have got to "report" press f5 and chart refresh, but this does not refresh on dashboard, I now have to remove and add report..
I can not tell PowerBI to updated data, hence this is a azure database and there is no data i model
What should I do?
In Power BI Desktop:
Press Refresh → updates all visuals.
Save & republish to Power BI Service to update dashboards.
In Power BI Service (Online):
Set up Scheduled Refresh for your dataset:
Go to dataset settings → Scheduled refresh → configure frequency and credentials.
Power BI will automatically pull new rows from Azure SQL.
DirectQuery mode:
If your dataset is in DirectQuery mode, visuals query the database live → charts reflect the latest data without manual refresh.
If using Import mode, Power BI caches data → you must refresh to see new rows.
👉 Best practice: For nightly uploads, use Scheduled Refresh or DirectQuery depending on performance and data size.
