Refresh database view with new fields

I'm connecting to a PostgreSQL database view. I have made some changes in the view by adding and deleting some fields. How can I refresh the data in the Power BI report to reflect the new fields?   ...

I got it but also is there a way to update the data source in Power BI online without having to re-publishing the report that is using the data source?

 

I have more then one report in Power BI online that is using the same data source

Hi iversa,

 

As I know, if you only need to refresh the data in your data source. Power BI Service can handle it.

 

However, if you have changed the schema of your data source. You have to refresh it on Power BI Desktop and re-publish those reports which are using this data source.

 

Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/refresh-data

 

Thanks,
Xi Jin.
