Excel not refreshing with Power BI dataset as source
Hi @rkCam ,
If you are using Excel with a Power BI dataset as a source, you might need to refresh the dataset in Power BI to see the updated data in Excel.
To manually refresh a dataset, you can use Refresh Now or set up a refresh schedule using Schedule Refresh in the dataset's settings. Please note that there can be a delay of up to 1 hour before the scheduled refresh begins.

Hi @rkCam
If you want people to answer, you need to add more than a one liner. There are many guidelines here on how to ask a question to get the answer you need.
Has the Power BI dataset also been refreshed? Have you also Refreshed all sources in Excel?
Thanks
Joe
