    Anonymous,

    " These PBIX are published in the Cloud and are scheduled to refresh themselves overnight as well as during the day."

    "Include in report refresh" option only works for Power BI Desktop, it doesn't impact the refresh process in Power BI Service.

    In Power BI Desktop, when  you disable "Include in report refresh" option, data will not update in report view of Power BI Desktop after you click "Refresh" button in Desktop.

    Regards,

SokonSorry, but that's known as 'defect support system'

What happens if the location of that static data moves? You don't NEED to refresh it, but Power BI Service FORCES you to, and then FAILS because it's not there.

This is a horrible design spec, where the desktop tool does something different than the service.

Sorry, but it's just my opinion.

All:

Apparently, the July '20 Desktop update should fix this, but I think you need to open the model in that version (or later), save, then re-publish. FYI the July update is 'V3' and included the "enhanced metadata format" that is needed for this setting to be visible and usable by the service.
