Report not updating from data source

Hi All

 

This is a little strange so could be something I am doing wrong. I am using PowerBI Desktop, I have a very simple report of computer names / serials numbers etc. I found an issue with an incorrect serial number and patch level in the data source and corrected them:

I copied the NEW data source to the data loaction (overwriting the old data source); refresh my table in PowerBI but the record has not been updated:

This is just PowerBI Desktop with the data files located on my local C drive.

Any ideas on how I could fix this?

Thanks

  1. Verify that your Power BI table is pointing to the correct file
  2. You can do a one-time, manual refresh in Power BI Desktop by selecting Refresh on the Home tab of the ribbon. When you select Refresh, the data in the file's model refreshes with updated data from the original data source.
