Published PowerBI dataset not retrieving latest data from SharePoint folder

[Anonymous]

Hello! Need some assistance here.

I have recently created a PowerBI report and published it for my team to view the latest statistics and data, which we are storing in a SharePoint folder and updating daily. 

When I work on PowerBI desktop, it works fine and the data gets updated everytime I refresh it. However, the data refresh does not pull the newest SharePoint folder data when I manually refresh the published dataset.

Any idea why this is so?

Hi @Anonymous ,

It is needed to refresh the underlying dataset first and then refresh the report. Then you will see the latest data in the report.
