Power BI & Ms Project connection - Pulling outdated data.

Good Day/Evening.

 

Friends I'm in dire need of help right now, The company I'm working with wants to connect their Project account to Power BI to be able to grasp the multiple aspects that are going unnoticed, we followed numerous tutorials on how to set up the connection, using this article as main reference, which includes a template that would make this job more manageable.

The thing is that the information that's pulled into Power BI is extremely outdated, showing projects that are no longer part of the Project lineup itself.

 

Here is the link that we used as a guide to create this connection. Microsoft article. 

 

Please let me know if there is any specific screen capture I could share with you to make this situation easier to understand.

 

Thanks in advance!.

Hi @Seroser -Sometimes, when connecting to Project Online or Microsoft Project via Power BI, the connection may reference an older dataset or cache. Make sure you're pulling from the correct environment, especially if there are multiple instances (e.g., development and production environments and so on).If your organization uses multiple versions of Project Online or has migrated from one environment to another, ensure that Power BI is connecting to the most recent version or instance of Project. Outdated connections might result in seeing older project data.

More details and reference links:

Connect to Project Online with Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Configure scheduled refresh - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

Hope this information helps.
