Stop refreshing old reports?

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.
