Has someone noticed issues with updating of the data in PowerDesktop?

Hi There,

 

My PowerBI desktop file uses a CSV file as a data source. I usually replace the file with up to date data and refresh it. It always worked for me, but not now.

 

The strange thing is that the data was updated in the Query editor. I hit apply& close, then refreshed several times.

 

Still, my tables return the old data on the Report and Data level. But I see the refreshed data in the Query Editor.

 

At that, everything works fine for other PowerBI files of mine.

 

Any ideas why can this happen? My file contains around 1000 rows, so far from big data.

I haven't reproduced your issue. Whenever I click "refresh" in Power BI Desktop, the data in visual is updated properly as source CSV file. I'm using 2.38.4491.642 64-bit. What visual are you using? Is the data field refereced properly?

 

Since you said the data is refreshed in Query Editor, does it show correct data if you re-drag the data field into visual?

I have this issue when I run the PowerBI file on  another computer and need to check data source.

 

It doesn't update the old table. So I need to create a new one. It works in this case.
