Data Load Setting and Background Data Loading

[Chhieng]

Hi Group:

Help needed

I have an issue that prevents me from viewing my report in Desktop. 

I've created my report for my work since early 2022 from MS Excel flat files. I have to update my files frequently, some daily, some weekly and others monthly. 

I recently took some practice tests and learned a new thing about Data Load in Background Data and changed the setting there. Since the change, the report does not view information from one file and the report does not show any value from that table.

I'd appreciate it very much your help to solve this issue and make the report reusable again.

Thank you very much

That setting only impacts the ETL design work you do in Power Query. It should not haveany impact on the report refresh,  neither in the desktop nor in the service.  Your issue might lie elsewhere.
