Hi Anonymous,

 

I have been building my reports with Power BI Desktop, getting the data from the excel files I already had, refreshing them as you recommended, with the Refresh button, and everything was going smoothly until today, when I tried to look into one of my reports, updated, I noticed it's not refreshing the information, I tried open the report double-clicking on it, I tried first opening Power BI and from there opening the report and nothing seems to help, do you have any idea/recommendation on how I can get the reports refreshed again?

 

Thank you so much in advance!

Have you tried to right click on the Fields that are populating the reports and refreshing those individually? Are you just refreshing the info, and no model changes?
