Smart Scheduling: Choose Between Full Refresh or Data-Only Refresh
Hello,
Currently, when I scheduled refresh in Power BI Service always performs a full refresh, including both data updates and any schema changes.
I would like to suggest an enhancement that gives users the option to:
- Refresh only the data (ideal for frequent updates and optimising resource usage).
- Perform a full model refresh when structural changes are required.
Additionally, there could be a manual option such as “Refresh everything on the next run” for occasional scenarios where a complete update is necessary.
This functionality would provide greater control and efficiency, particularly for large models and high-frequency refresh environments.
I have not found this functionality documented or available in the current service. If it already exists, I would appreciate guidance. Otherwise, I believe this improvement would be highly valuable for many organisations managing complex models.
If you believe this feature would be useful, please support this idea by voting so that it can be considered by the Power BI team.
