CSV File Not updating

Hi,

 

I have a CSV file that I updated in excel (Changed the data in a couple of cells in 1 of the columns). When I go to table view in Power BI, I see the old data. I have hit Refresh data a number of times to no avail. Then I removed the file from the model and closed Power BI. Then reopened it and went to 'Get Data' and loaded the CSV file all over again and the old data is still there. I have checked the path to make sure that it was pulling the data from the right folder and it all looks correct. Not sure what is wrong.

Try moving the file to a folder that is not backed up by OneDrive, like c:\temp

 

The issue may be that the file is not being loaded properly by OneDrive

Hi @swb128 

 

Can you reproduce the issue with a different CSV?

 

Where is the CSV stored?  Local hard drive?  Cloud?

 

Can you move the CSV to a different path (preferably a local drive) and see if that fixes the issue?

 

Phil
