Refresh from Excel does not work - no error message

Hi!

 

I'm having trouble refreshing my report in Power BI desktop. My data is from Excel (through get data). It has worked earlier. When I hit the refresh button in desktop it starts refreshing, but when each Excel sheet is on 80 something kb, it just stops. I get no error message or anything, and nothing is updated.

 

Anyone who have the same experience and know a good solution to this problem?

 

PS: I tried updating my version yesterday.

Thanks @v-chuncz-msft!

 

I actually found my problem and it was that I had moved the original file to another folder. The path had to be changed in the Query editor under options. When this was done I could refresh easily.

 

This can be helpful for another time, thanks anyways.

@Anonymous,

 

Check "Include in report refresh" in the Query Editor.
