Stop refreshing old reports?

‎02-04-2019 01:03 AM

Hi, 

 

We have one report (excel file) per activity we perform, and each file is linked to our Power BI. But some of these activities last only for 2-3 months, whereafter the reports are archived. Since there will be no new data in them ever, is there a way to set Power BI to not refresh those reports? 

 

This should not affect the data which was already loaded, as we need it for statistical purposes.
