hi i have a 3 report pbix file. every time i move between reports i see on each visual "visual has pending changes" and a refresh button. but as far as i know all of my tables are import and they arent changing at all. and i've hit refresh a number of times already.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, Just you check which table do you need refresh. Go to Data pane and right click on particular table do you want refresh, then click refresh as mention below snapshot.
thx nono, how do you keep the rest of the report paused?

Hi @db042190
I am also faced the same problem. Just you can do manual refresh in your Power BI Desktop. So, error will go away.
Thanks!
Hi @db042190
When you make changes to visuals in Power BI, you may encounter a "Visual has pending changes" message. Here are some solutions:
Select "Refresh" in the visual's "Visual has pending changes" banner to refresh only that visual and keep the rest of the report paused.
Select "Refresh visuals" in the Optimize ribbon, or "Refresh" in the report banner to refresh all visuals on the report and keep the report paused.
Try "Refresh Preview" > "Refresh All" in Power Query and then close and apply changes to see if the error persists.
