Embedded Power BI table into PPT Not Updating

I have a table I embedded into a PPT showing forecast numbers currently and previous date forecast numbers. The whole report has an "As of" date filter on it that I switch from the previous data dump forecast to the current one before I update the report. When I go to refresh the table I have in PPT it says it refreshed by it still have the previous "As of" date filter on it from the previous refresh. How do I get the table to refresh to refelct the new date filter that should say "Financials As of 2/24/2025" and not the current 2/10/2025?

    Hi jonahlawson ,

     

    According to your description, you can troubleshoot by the following points:

    • Clear PowerPoint cache: Close PowerPoint and reopen the file to force the cache to clear.
    • Verify Power BI permissions: Ensure that the viewer of the PowerPoint file has permissions to access Power BI reports.
