Power BI Desktop Refresh Issue
Hello, I currently have a PowerBI Desktop pointing towards an Excel as a data source. The data source was recently updated, and is meant to be appended onto in a recurring manner. The data is...
Can you please clarify what you mean by "Dashboard?" Power BI Desktop doesn't do dashboards. Just reports. All Dashboards are done exclusively in the service and will not be updated until either a new PBIX is uploaded or the data is refreshed via the Scheduled Refresh settings.
If you just mean that your report isn't updating in the desktop when you hit the Refresh button at the top in the ribbon, there is something else going on. Closing and opening should not be necessary. I'd do two things:
- Ensure you are working with the latest desktop app.
- Reboot your PC. There could be temporary issue that is preventing the data from refreshing properly. But I've never experienced this bug nor seen it reported.
