Power BI Refresh Problem.

Hi all. My PowerBI will not refresh from a SharePoint list. Background: A contractor took the pbix file that I created, modified it and then sent it back to me. I published the pbix file from the desktop app, but it isn't refreshing from the SharePoint list. Any ideas?

Hi , @jselman 

According to your description, you connected data from your SharePoint list data source in Desktop, and then published to Power BI Service and found that the data was not refreshed.
First, you need to go to the corresponding dataset and click "Data Source credential" to check if your credentials are configured or configured correctly:

For imported data, you need to configure scheduled refresh or manually refresh the dataset before updating your data.

For more information, you can refer to:
Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
