Power BI report Keeps refreshing to old data

For some reason, my online Power BI report keeps refreshing the data back to when I first created it. (I'm using scheduled refresh) I refreshed it in my Desktop app, then republish it;  it shows the updated data, but then when the schedule refresh happens it reverts back to the old data from when I first created/published the report. This continues to happen every time I republish. I'm not having this issue on any of my other reports that are scheduled to refresh.

@Anonymous  not sure what could be the issue. if your report in powerbi services is importing the data from the same source and same method as your powerbi desktop file then such issue should not occuar. Please ensure that your dataset in powerbi services is accessing the same source. 

Have your tried deleting your dataset in powerbi services and republishig the report. Please check if that works for you or not.
