How to stop dataflow refresh

Hi,

 

one of my dataflows has been refreshing for 28 hours now. Obviously there's something wrong. Is there a way to stop the refresh?

 

Thanks

I just discovered there's a cancel refresh button when I click on the three dots beside the dataflow. 

This is resolved now, thanks.

Hi Vucko,  I don't believe there is a way to stop it directly.  There is an idea that is similar right here that you can vote for:

In the meantime, perhaps a support call to Microsoft?  And, please share what the results of that support are if you go that route.

Ah, I thought the dataflow was refreshing "in the background" - good to know there IS a way to cancel them!
