Hi f4v5cs6oy3vis7j ,

 

If you use a method that meets your needs, it certainly makes sense.


I have an idea that I don't know if it would meet your needs that you could use as a reference, which is to configure automatic page refresh for reports, detect changes to relevant content to implement the refresh, and perhaps apply the changes to desktop.

You can create a copy to try it out to know if the requirements can be met. If not, you may consider using your way.

Hi Anonymous 

 

Thank you for your response, but you're not understanding the issue and automatic page updates won't help.

 

The correct data is being determined in Power Query Editor, but the correct data in Power Query Editor is not being passed to Power BI desktop.

 

Power BI desktop is not receiving the latest data.

That's the issue.

 

And yes, whilst I might be able to perform a workaround this month, what about next month? Or the month after that? Will I be resigned to amending the Queries every month? This appears to be a defect which Microsoft needs to resolve.
