Hi @vijaykaali811 

 

Power BI itself doesn't retain historical data between refreshes. Each refresh pulls the latest data from the source, which means historical data will be overwritten unless stored elsewhere.  If this happens just a month, I'd  export the result of that web query to an Excel file, put in a folder and connect to the monthly extracts using the Folder connector.
