Hi all,
I am having a bit of a strange issue in PowerBI. In the excel source file, I have deleted a few rows that contain duplicate values and are not needed in the dataset.
However, when I save the file and hit Refresh in PowerBI, those rows are not being removed from the dataset.
I have done this same process before and have not had any issues until now.
Is there any reason this may be happening?
Hi @xDaniellaM did you go to PowerQuery and check results? If not, go there and press Refres all there. Hope this help.

Thank you for your response. I did check PowerQuery and even when I hit refresh there, the rows are not being removed.
Hi @xDaniellaM you need to check what is really source for your pbi / power query and check on simple data. In addition, check did you filter something.
