Updated data set but visuals fail to update after ...

Hi everyone,

I have an excel file that i reguarly update with data. Everytime i update the excel file, i open my power bi desktop file and hit refresh and the data is displayed into all my visuals.

Yesterday I added new data, but this time, it fails to be displayed on my visuals after i hit refresh.
I've checked power query and i can see the data. When i create a new page and create a new visual, i can see the new data, but how come my old visuals don't display the new data?

Any ideas whats going on?

Hello @bobbob123

The visulas are not refreshing, due to cached data or inconsistencies in the report.

Please follow the below steps..

Restrat your PBI desktop and try refresh again.
Make sure that, you can use latest version of Power BI Desktop.
Clear Cache: File > Options and settings > Options > Data Load and then clearing the cache, then refresh the report.
Recreate Visuals: If needed, delete and recreate problematic visuals on the same page instead of copying them to a new one.

Hope it might helps you. If you need additional info, Please go through below accepeted answers.
