    Hi YoungLearning ,

     

    Query caching instructs Power BI Premium or Power BI Embedded capacity to use its local caching service to maintain query results, thereby avoiding the need to have the underlying data source compute those results. Caching is performed the first time a user opens a report. The service performs query caching only for the initial page on which they land. In other words, no queries are cached when you interact with the report. Cached query results are specific to the user and semantic model context and always follow security rules. When Power BI performs a semantic model refresh, the query cache is flushed. When the query cache is flushed, Power BI must run a query against the underlying data model to get the latest results.

     

    Pressing F5 will refresh the entire web page using the browser's cache. This means that it reloads the page and any data already cached in the browser. f5 refresh is limited to the browser and does not update the underlying data model.

     

    More details can be found in the documentation:
