    Hi All,

    So after a few weeks of phoning with MS Support. They said that depends on the way you uploaded your data to the Power BI service. 
    Case A: If you upload the file it via Web Service (OneDrive personal or Fro Business) than the republish won't work, but it will republish once the schedule refresh is done and that you have the .pbix file in the same folder. 

     

    Case B: If you publish with the desktop and desktop only it will be updated just when you need to but not automatically like with OneDrive.

     

    In summary, look in which way you uploaded your file, then check if you have it in the same folder. 

     

    Best, 

    J. 

     

    PD: I solved my issue so I will close the thread. In case, you still have issues either you write to Microsoft support or create another thread.

Same issue in my org.

 

Question, what data sources are you all using in your PBIX file?

 

we are using two SQL DBs (on premise) and several files on a sharepoint document library, one xlsx and four .csv

    We have a mixture of datasources

     

    - TeraData

    - Excel files - shared via OneDrive

    - SQL Server

     

    This is really frustrating. Particularly when MS appear to release this updates without full testing with old PBIX files. Then you are unable to roll back to an older release because the PBIX has been "formatted" for use in the latest release.

      Hi all,

       

      I see many customers reported this republish issue. As I'm not able to reproduce on my side, can you run Fiddler and repeat republish steps to create .saz file? You can upload .saz file to your OneDrive and share the link here.

       

      Best Regards,
