Power BI deployment to Production

[DeepakKB]

Hello Experts,

I am new to Power BI. We have power BI solution at one of clients who uses SQL server as datasource. We have added new fields to one of the tables that power bi uses. We have to pull these new fields to power BI in order to use them in reports. 

As of now client does not have UAT environment of thier power bi solution nor do they have power bi pipeline to prod deployment. It wil take sometime to get all these things sorted for them. But in the mean while they want this change. They use web version of power bi.   

I have searched the internet and zeroed in these steps to add new fields to power bi data. 

1. Download the pbix -> open the pbix in Power bi desktop application

2. under Data section -> find the table that has new fields -> right click and refresh data

3. Publish the changes

Are these the right steps , Am I missing anything? 

Thank you,

Deepak.

You can do that, or you can use ALM Toolkit to propagate the meta data changes through if you want to avoid a full semantic model refresh (or two if you have scheduled refresh enabled)
