How can I update the analyze in excel file to use the updated measure?

So i have a power bi file that i uploaded to the service.  I downloaded the analyze in excel file on my computer and it works fine.  However, I made a change to one of the measures, so the analyze in excel is still showing data with the old measure.  How can I update the analyze in excel file to use the latest measure without me having to download a new analyze in excel file and rebuilding the pivot table?  Thanks

Hi @wpf_ 

  You dont need to downlod the new excel file for this. You can refresh the excel from Data Ribbon and hit Refresh button. Also, you can control how & when the data should be refreshed.

@Anonymous Thanks you are right.  A refresh would have worked.  I forgot that I published the pbix file to two different workspaces, and the excel pivot file was connecting to the one that I did not update.  I just did and refreshed and it works now. Thanks.

Refresh does not use the updated measure.  It's still showing me the old data from the old measure.
