Refresh Button Doing Nothing in Power BI Desktop

[Datalewis]

Hi

Im having an unusual issue where the refresh button (subtext "get the latest data by refreshing all visuals in this report") does absolutely nothing. No error message, no loadscreen. nothing. When i refresh the preview in transform data the data changes to the newer version, but when i click close and apply nothing updates.

This is only occuring for one of my reports. The others work fine. Ive tried restarting my pc.

Has anyone ever had a similar issue?

What I've noticed on my side is that a full refresh of all the tables works fine but running refreshes on individual queries gives issues now. The individual refreshes still seem to happen, but without any visual indication of anything happening. If I wait for a few seconds to a minute, the table view reloads and shows the updated data.

I have noticed that since there is no indication of the update happening that I can effectively queue up multiple individual refreshes without realising anything is happening. This will lead to a full crash of the report.

Not sure if anyone has the same issues occurring.

Does anyone have a solution to this? I have a report that I can refresh without an issue, but a colleague cannot do so. He can refresh other reports but not the one in question.

Were you ever able to resolve this? I'm having the same thing happen right now for the first time.

same here... since a couple of hours I have tried to refresh in desktop a couple of reports and clicking refresh does nothing at all.
same reports I could refresh yesterday without problems and nothing changed in the reports or the sources since it worked yesterday...

@Datalewis possible to try it on another machine and see if it is machine-related.
