PBI Desktop Reports not updating after new query

[Anonymous]

Hi There!

I have a Power BI Desktop Project sourced from an Access Database, which is monthly updated by the client. 

I created some power queries to clean up the data but I noticed that the dashboards don't update, is it because this doesn't work with Access? I had to redo the tables and plots to get the modified data from these queries.  

Any workarounds to sort this out? Shall I export the Access tables to excel?

TIA

Regards,

Laura

My bad. Looked it up and the function is called Table.StopFolding (source). If that doesn't work I'm hoping someone who works with acces can help you further.

Hi @ChielFaber , thanks for your response. 

I don't get any error messages, the reports don't update with the queries, even though the preview version in the power query editor looks ok. 

I checked the Advanced Editor, there is no reference to enabling folding, as mentioned in other posts.

let

    Source = Access.Database(File.Contents("\\file\path\access.accdb"), [CreateNavigationProperties=true]

When I tried to add the Stop.Folding, it would give me this error message,

I also tried to add [EnableFolding=false] but it didn't work, any other suggestions?

Thanks!!!

Personally I dont' work with acces but according to the PowerBI documentation it should work. 

Do you get an error message after loading? Does the preview version of the data load in de power query editor?

What might be the problem is a protection against query folding.  You could try to wrap the source step in the following function Stop.Folding(source). This might impact the performance but if the data loads this might help pinpoint where the problem occurs.
