Disabling "Include in report refresh" not working
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.

So I have been monitoring the link above regarding the User Voice item, and also hounding Microsoft to A) acknowledge there is an issue and B) do something about it.
Last Week I did a quick test and discovered that it may have been fixed. I'm curious to know if ohter people are seeing the same (new and expected/corrected) behavior on the service regarding "Include in Report Refresh"
Nice it it has probably been fixed, but the User Voice item is still listed as "Needs Votes", and I have not seen any mention of it in Blogs, releases, or other official communication from Microsoft. Like they fixed it on the sly but are unwilling to admit that it was an issue to begin with.
I'm late to the party, but my own experimenting 24/01/2022 indicates that unticking "Include in report refresh" does now stop that query being updated when the pbix is published to the service and its dataset is refeshed.
Hi SimonAurizon,
Better late then never join 😉
Has your Power Bi Service access to the datasource, where you disabled "Include in report refresh"?
If yes, try the same again with a datasource that it has no access to. Then the refresh will fail. At least that was the bahavior, last time I cheked.
So you can't use the disabled "Include in report refresh" to prevent the refresh from failing, when there are datasources the power bi service has no access to. And that would be the only senario I would like to use it.
