Hi @techvidya ,

 

As soon as the following options are checked for merged table (Checked by default), yes it will.

I have a merged table which does not update after refresh, only the individual source tables do update. "Include in report refresh" is ticked, but merged table does not get updated. 

 

Can anyone support? Thank you.

@techvidya , ideally steps of power query/edit query should repeat after each data load.

I am hoping you are talking of - https://radacad.com/append-vs-merge-in-power-bi-and-power-query

if you will be using only merged table, not the individual table, then you can disable load on them.

it will help in improving performance.

@techvidya  Yes, whether your merge is a Merge query or NATURALINNERJOIN, it will be refreshed.
