Data Refresh Fail, can Power Bi continue and refresh the remaining data conections?

Hello,

 

I have a report with a few data connections.  On scheduled refreshes, I may have one fail on occaision (not frequently, but sometimes a server may be down for one data connection).

Is it possible for Power BI to continue the data refresh on the remaining connections so that other data may be updated instead of the entire data refresh failing?

 

Thank you for your help.

@Anonymous, for a dataset this is unfortunately not possible. 

You can however create a dataflow (per datasource if you like), refresh those separately and connect them together into a dataset.

If you're not familiar with dataflows, have a read here.
