Dataset refresh history

Hi ,

 

I have general question regarding the refresh history page. WHy does the refresh history page show onedrive refresh history tab even if I dont have onedrive sources in my dataset? Is it the default behaviour or can we turn it off? 

 

And also I am not able to understand when it shows the history in the onedrive tab. The timings are completely off compared to  my scheduled or on demand refreshes of my dataset. Can anyone help me understand the details under the onedrive tab?

  • Hi there

    I think that the OneDrive tab is there for files that you access from OneDrive (which means they are refreshed directly with OneDrive) to show you their refresh history. The other one is for the refresh history for data that has gone via the On-Premise Data Gateway.

    The timings might be different if you are in a different timezone?

    Hi Anonymous,

    Do you mean that the refresh history page will show onedrive refresh history tab and scheduled refresh history tab?

     

    I'm afarid that is a defallt behaviour so we cannot turn off it.


    And also I am not able to understand when it shows the history in the onedrive tab. The timings are completely off compared to my scheduled or on demand refreshes of my dataset. Can anyone help me understand the details under the onedrive tab? 


     

    What's kind of your dataset?

      My dataset only connects to On Premises SQL server and Excel files kept at a shared drive(not OneDrive). Since I am not connecting to any onedrive sources, I was hoping I shouldn't see that tab at all.

       

      Again even if I dont have Onedrive sources, still I am seeing Onedrive refresh history with start and end times. What is Power BI refreshing here , since I dont have any onedrive  sources in my dataset?

        Hi Anonymous,

         

        That's really strange.

         

        By my test with the data source from SQL Server, I cannot reproduce your issue.

         

        After clicking the Refresh Now, I only could see the refresh history under Scheduled.

         

         

        Please have a test with the local excel file as data source and add it to data gateway.

         

        If you still see the refresh history under OneDrive for the local excel data source, please share the screenshot which could reproduce the issue.

         

        Best  Regards,
