Selective refresh in power bi?

Possible to refresh certains tables and not others?

 

In my dataset, only a couple of tables need regular refreshing, while the rest are look up types.   Trying to get real time reports...but overhead of refreshing all look up tables means 8 minute refresh instead of 4 min...

You can set whether a query refreshes or not. Go into Query Editor and select whether load is enabled and whether it is included in refresh.

When "Include in report refresh" is unchecked, the query won't refresh when clicking "refresh" in Power BI Desktop. However this functionality won't work after you publish your report to Power BI service. 

 

At this moment, there's no workaround for your question, you can check the similar ideas listed, add comments and vote them up.
