Dataset refresh history
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.

Hi Cherry,
Sorry for the delayed response. Though not with SQL server, I tried with a different datasource. Below is a screenshot of refresh history of a data where I the only data source connection I have is to Azure Databricks. However still I am able to see refresh history for Onedrive :
Hope that helps to reproduce the issue.
Hi Anonymous,
Did you create the report in Power BI Desktop and publish it to Power BI Service directly?
Or did you create the report in Power BI Desktop and upload the pbix file to OneDrive, then get data through OneDrive in Power BI Service?
If your scenario is the second, then the dataset will be refresh under OneDrive.
