Thanks for your reply! Yes the data is definitely changing. How do I check that it is pointing at the right excel file? I haven't changed anything, like locations of excel files, since I created it so I don't see why it would not be pointing at the right place any more.

By filters do you mean in excel or Power BI? I haven't filtered either. All I'm trying to do is show a card with a number from the excel but when I update the excel it is not updated in Power BI, not in the dashboard I made nor in the data query thing where you see your table imported (the second icon down on the left in the main screen).

As for am I updating in the service or the desktop... I don't know what the service is! i just click "refresh" in the normal power bi screen....

Thanks heaps for getting back to me! I am totally lost. I was loving making the dashboard but now this... if I can't figure this out there's no point me using the product.

Cheers
