    Hi melpop ,

    When you open Query Editor in power bi desktop, select the table that you do not want to refresh, right click it and disable Include in report refresh (it is active by default), close and apply Query Editor and the table will not refresh when the report is refreshed.

    Best Regards,

    This doesn't work for me either, I have tables where the SQL connection won't work and therefore they are stopping my other tables from refreshing, when I deselect Include in report refresh, nothing changes.
