Delete pending changes

Hello, I've been looking for a way to not apply the pending changes, but haven't had any luck. Is there an option or way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tracy

    Hi elz,

     

    Based on my research, whatever we have done in the Query Editor, the warning "There are pending changes in your queries that haven't been applied" will throw out in the report. Some changes we can find in the Applied Steps, and other changes like rename the dataset will not be listed, so that we are not able to know whether we have performed this operation. If you don't want to apply those pending changes, please close the Query Editor without Apply.

     

    Currently, there is no OOTB feature for us to know pending changes. For this issue, I would suggest you submit a feedback in Power BI Idea forum.

     

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

    hi qiuyun,
    i have tried closing the query editor without applying the changes . i think this becomes a problem, when you make a change in the query editor, select "close", then go and make changes to a report and only want to save the changes you make to the report. perhaps adding an option to the apply changes dialog box that you get when you save the file, that says cancel pending changes made in the query editor would help.

      Hi elz,

       

      What we can do currently is to cancel changes, we can click Undo button in Query Editor. But it's hard to find which steps are canceled. So if you have any feedback, you can post it in Power BI Idea forum.
