    jillian, one other thing to turn off (just to diagnose) in the settings dialog:

    Current File->Data Load->Auto Date/Time

     

    With this off, try refresh again

Hi there, I've tried all the things mentioned in this post and my refresh still takes around half an hour (used to take around 15 seconds). Running latest version of Power BI Desktop. Any ideas?

I tracked mine down to the refresh from OneDrive for Business - used to work fine when I had not much in OneDrive for Business, but now that I have tens of thousands of files, the refresh takes over half an hour. Query filters to correct folder and filetype.

 

Worked it out by looking at the refresh size which showed hundreds of MB, but the folder contains no more than 100KB of data.

 

Can anyone assist with this?

 

Cheers
