Preventing Power BI Semantic Model Refresh Failure
Hello Everyone,
As you probably know, it takes only one table in a Power BI semantic model to fail to refresh in order for the entire semantic model to refresh. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I am already aware that the "Include in report refresh" option can be unchecked for tables in the Power Query Editor window. However, when more than one table fails to refresh at a time, the process for identifying which ones need the refresh disabled becomes tedious because the error message usually only mentions one table at a time. I am also aware that there is a way to do error handling but that is also for individual tables. To this for every table in a semantic model would be tedious. I am curious to hear your thoughts. Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Liam
It is up to you to decide if they all need to refresh successfully, or if they can all be refreshed individually without impacting other tables.
The Enhanced Refresh API allows you to selectively refresh individual tables and even partitions (if you use incremental refresh)
