Import vs Direct Query Refresh Report

‎10-13-2022 01:18 PM

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Refreshing the report will add the new data in desktop but you will have to do either of these things to see the updated data in service:

 

  1. Publish the report again after refreshing and replace existing dataset.
  2. Or refresh the dataset manually in Power BI Service.
