Power BI not showing progress on data refresh

Anonymous · ‎10-17-2021

Hi community;

Recently Im not able to visualize the progress on data refresh . Only appears "Creating connection in model...." and after that just shows once it finish. This issue begins on September update.

Any help about how to show that progress?

Kindly regards!

Hi @Anonymous

This issue has been submitted internally (Internal ICM ID: 263271425). Currently it influences both September and October versions.

Fix will be released in the November version of Power BI Desktop. Please be patient to wait for the fix. Or you can also revert it back to August version which doesn't have this issue. Download previous versions from Previous monthly updates to Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service
