Stop Dataset refresh

[vamshikrishna89]

Please provide option to stop refreshing dataset after refreshing manually... If there are any performance issues in database this would lock down the table... I even observed that reports doesnt get published until the refresh is done...

I have seen this occur more than once and on different datasets, so there isn't any pattern to it.

Yes, please make this high priority in your next release. Else you are wasting developers time. This feature is expected in any tool which has schedule option. Microsoft has great standards. I think this is valid request from us. I am surprised it is not taken care since this voting started in 2016. Now we are in 2020. Does Microsoft take so long to enable a feature? I think nobody cares about these ideas which we post. If that is the case then Power Bi will not sell in the market.

There are really two places where we need a way to stop/cancel a refresh: 1. At the Power BI Service level - (the Gateway data refresh) - if you click that button by mistake or have an automatic refresh scheduled that fires but you do not want it to run after it has already started, there needs to be a way to cancel/stop it. 2. At the local PBIX file level, you can start the refresh in Power Query when it says your Preview of the data is out of date and then again when you do a Close & Apply, it does another complete refresh. Would be nice if you had just refreshed the data in the Preview that the Close & Apply realizes this and does not do another full refresh. Adding a way to cancel a refresh both on the Service or with in the local PBIX file would be very helpful. Thanks!

I really like Power BI in general, but this is probably the biggest weakness of the product. And if a dataset is based on dataflows, then there is no way of cancelling the query from the original source database.

We must be able to cancel an action, and also configure a timeout ... it's a basic need.

I agree. There needs to be a way to Cancel a Refresh, especially when it was discovered that there is suddenly a random issue because of an internal service error. After bringing up Power BI Desktop and confirming that all data and the report are working without issue, I attempted to perform an On-Demand Refresh that also hung and has been in process for the past hour and based on other comments I suspect will remain this way for about 3 hours before failing. We need the ability to cancel a Refresh, especially if it is On Demand, to prevent this from running for 3 hours.

This we need immediate option. This is the basic feature that should be made available

[vishalsanap444]

Should have this basic feature of cancel dataset refresh we losing Job data load of many hours task because of this..Kindly add this feature.

[danielledoppee]

I need this option as well. We lose HOURS at my job trying to refresh our data. It locks everything and makes us unproductive. PLEASE add this basic feature.

Losing hours of time at work everytime something goes wrong with a refresh on Power BI Service. The refresh normally works in 5mins so if we could at least set some sort of threshold here instead of letting it fully run....
