Folder refresh not working for a single file

‎11-20-2019 02:39 PM

Desktop: For the past year, every month I add an excel sheet of Daily Sales and Orders to a folder that I use for related queries. Never a problem. This month, I added the updated sheet as usual but refresh ignores this particular sheet of data. Refresh continues to work fine for all my other data files throughout Power BI. 

 

I've deleted and re-added the file several times to the folder without luck. I do not receive error messages, but refresh simply won't include any data from this one sheet in any queries.

 

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot why this might be happening?

@lisaeugene so you have a function that goes thru each file on the folder. Is there any filter which is filtering new file.

I'm not sure what you mean. I have date-based filters on the calculations for Sales and Orders, which draw on the data from the file. If I set the date filter to prior months, for which there is sales and order data, everything works fine.
