imported data not refreshshing in visuals
Hello vickster3659,
The 12th CSV was likely imported successfully, but not added to the final appended query used by the visuals.
Check the following:
- Confirm the 12th file contains rows in Power Query.
- Verify the Append step includes the new file/query.
- Ensure column names and data types match the previous files.
- Select Close & Apply to refresh the model.
- Check for filters or slicers excluding the new month.
For future monthly files, using Folder import is usually easier and more scalable than manually appending CSVs each month in Microsoft Power BI Desktop.

Thank you! In the interim, I was able to find someone in my organization who is good with PowerBI. They also said the best way to go was Folder Import, which I knew nothing about. I had success with this, and am able to continue on with my project.
Thanks to everyone who took time to respond with suggestions! Much appreciated!
