    Hi RV,

     

       as Eric_Zhang said.

    so now you just have to digit "y12" or "Y12" and you'll refresh your data.

    Let me know if it works.

     

    p.s. I'm using the latest version (released yesterday).

Hello again,

 

I just realised that in the previous version of Power BI Desktop, when hitting the "Alt" key, shorcuts were appear on the screen. This is not the case anymore. I used these shorcuts to refresh and publish data through a macro in Excel. I can't do that anymore.

 

I know that there are solutions to have Power BI updated regurlarly but I can't use these solutions in my current company.

 

I would like to know if Power BI Desktop willl enable the keyboard shortcuts again.

 

Thank you,

Hi RV,

I don't quite get your problem. I've tested on the latest powerbi, when hitting 'Alt' key I can see the shortcuts.
