PBI Report Refresh Not Updating Power Query Editor Data
Hi - we use an Excel Sheet from SharePoint as a data source. When the Excel sheet is updated and we refresh the PBI report on the desktop, the report refreshes okay but we also have to open the Query...
ISDG ,
Power query is for transforming the data and it doesn't actually store all the data, it shows only a sample of your data in order for you to transform it, it won't fit to show all the data.
so every time you want to see the updated data in power query you need to refresh it, and this doesn't mean the your report won't be updated unless you go and refresh the power query view.
Only if you're doing something in Power Query. It caches the data to make things faster. If you want to refresh the report, use the refresh button in the main toolbar (not in PQ). You probably want to just publish and schedule refresh though.
OK, I understand now!
